To make the vinaigrette dressing: pour the red wine vinegar and olive oil into the blending jug with the olives, lemon juice and salt & pepper. Use the Dualit Hand Blender to combine the ingredients.

Top tips...
• Rock the boat a little and try this salad with fresh or tinned salmon instead of tuna.
• Treat yourself to Clarence court eggs, the taste and vibrancy of the yolks are truly delicious.
• For fresh tuna, brush the steaks with a little olive oil, season and fry in a hot pan for 2-3 minutes each side and place on top of the salad just before serving.
• For a veggie option – fry mushrooms golden brown, dip into breadcrumbs and bake in the oven with a little olive oil until crispy. Thickly chopped courgette works just as well.
• This is a great Monday lunch dish to use up any leftover Sunday roasties.
