Start by preparing baby cos lettuce.

Boil some potatoes until tender.

Blanch green beans and place them in a bowl of iced water to keep them crisp.

Add parsley to the iced water to revive it.

Prepare a dressing by mixing the oil from the tuna with the brine from the olives.

Boil eggs for exactly 6 minutes for a jammy yolk, then place them in iced water.

Prepare pickled onions by covering them in lime juice and letting them set for a few minutes.

Cut cucumber into quarters and then into chunks.

Toss the green beans and potatoes with half of the dressing.

Crush olives with the side of a knife to remove the pits.

Layer the salad ingredients in a bowl, starting with the potatoes and green beans.

Add good quality tuna, preferably in olive oil, to the salad.

Slice the boiled eggs and place them on top of the salad.

Pick tough stems from the parsley and add it to the salad.

Add capers, olives, and pickled onions to the salad.

Finish with a squeeze of lime juice over the top.
