Salad Nicoise

I have always seen this on menus when I've been out and about, but have never ordered it for some reason. But when I was browsing for something a little different to make for a light summer salad I came across this recipe on the Sainsburys website and I think it is really quick and tasty. It is now a firm favorite if I'm pushed for time and fancy something a little more healthy than beans on toast! You can make it a little more substantial if you serve it with new potatoes.

Ingredients

For the salad:
- lettuce leaves
- 175g French beans, halved and cooked
- 198g can tuna, drained and flaked
- 2 tomatoes, cut into quarters
- 8 pitted black olives
- 2 sticks celery, finely chopped
- 8 anchovy fillets


For the dressing:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
freshly ground black pepper

How to make it:

- Place the lettuce leaves on a large serving plate.
- Arrange the beans, tuna, tomatoes, olives, celery and anchovies on top.
- Blend together the remaining ingredients to make a dressing, then spoon it over the salad and serve immediately with French bread or hot new potatoes.
