Method
Boil the potatoes in salted water for 12 to 15 minutes until just tender. Drain and let them cool.
In the last 4 minutes of boiling, add the green beans to the same pot. Drain both and rinse under cold water.
Place the eggs in a separate pot of cold water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 9 minutes. Cool in cold water, peel and quarter.
Shake the olive oil, vinegar, mustard and lemon juice in a jar. Season with salt and pepper.
Arrange the lettuce on two plates. Place the potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, olives, onion, eggs and tuna in separate piles on top.
Drizzle with the dressing and serve cold. The cooked parts keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Why it can fit a PCOS-friendly week
This composed salad pairs lean protein from tuna and eggs with fibre from green beans, tomatoes and potatoes. Tuna provides some omega-3 fatty acids, and potatoes with the skin on add fibre and potassium. It is served cold, so it travels well for work or school and fits a balanced midday pattern.
