• 1 C (250 ml) curly-leaf parsley

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place the eggs in a small saucepan of boiling water and cook them for 6–8 minutes so that they are medium hard. Cool them slightly, then peel and cut into quarters.
2. 2Pour boiling water over the green beans and allow to stand for 2 minutes. Refresh the beans in ice-cold water and set aside.
3. 3To make the dressing, put the parsley and garlic into a food processer and blitz until finely chopped. Add the lemon juice, zest and vinegar, then slowly add the oil. It should look like a runny pesto.
4. 4Gently mix half of the dressing with the green beans, cannellini beans and the tuna.
5. 5Arrange the salad leaves, cucumber and celery on a platter and top with the egg quarters, beans and tuna. Finish off with more dressing.
