Method
- To make the dressing, mix together the oil, vinegar and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Cook the potatoes and eggs in lightly salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the eggs are hard boiled. Drain and run under cold water until cool. Shell the eggs, cut into half and then into quarters and set aside.
- In a separate saucepan, cook the green beans in lightly salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes, or until cooked.
- Toss the lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, eggs and green beans together. Flake the tuna into the salad, toss with the dressing and serve immediately.
