This Liguriansalad is very similar to Niçoise, found just across the border in France. The combination of tuna, egg, green beans, potatoes, olives and anchovies comes together to create a quintessential taste of the Italian Riviera.
Cook the potatoes in salted boiling water for 10–15 minutes or until cooked through. Drain, cool and cut the potatoes into halves (or quarters if they're slightly bigger)
2
Cook the eggs in boiling water for 7–8 minutes depending on how runny you want the yolk. Plunge into cold water to stop the cooking, then peel
3
Cook the green beans in salted boiling water for 3–4 minutes, then plunge into iced water to retain crunch and a bright green colour
4
Place all of the ingredients apart from the eggs into a large bowl and season with plenty of salt, pepper, vinegar and a good glug of top-quality extra virgin olive oil
5
Taste to check the seasoning and adjust as necessary. Quarter the eggs and arrange in the salad. Serve at room temperature
