Niçoise Salad with Soy Dressing

3 eggs

8 small potatoes, halved

4 tuna steaks

olive oil, for brushing

200g/7oz fine/thin green beans

10 cherry tomatoes, halved

100g /3½oz/¾ cup black olives

1 baby cos/romaine lettuce, leaves roughly torn

DRESSING

150g/5½oz silken tofu

100ml/3½fl oz/scant ½ cup unsweetened soy milk

1 garlic clove, chopped

1 tsp Dijon mustard

2 tbsp lime juice

freshly ground black pepper

1 Put the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil over a high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, drain the water from the pan and then leave the eggs to stand under cold running water for 1 minute. Leave the eggs in the pan of cold water for a further 2 minutes, then peel and set aside.

2 Put the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil over a high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and leave to cool.

3 Preheat the grill/broiler to high. Brush the tuna steaks lightly with oil and grill/ broil for 2–3 minutes on each side until brown on the outside and slightly pink in the middle. Break the tuna into bite-size pieces with a fork.

4 Put the beans in a steamer and steam for 5 minutes. Remove the steamer from the heat and rinse the beans under cold running water, drain well and transfer to a large salad bowl.

5 Cut the eggs in half and add them to the beans. Add the potatoes, tuna, tomatoes, olives and lettuce and toss together gently.

6 Put all the ingredients for the dressing in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Season lightly with pepper, drizzle the dressing over the salad and serve.
