Method
• Hard boil eggs in boiling water (i go 8 minutes).
• Run eggs under cold water once done & peel - set aside.
• Then cook beans or asparagus in same water for 1 to 2 mins. Drain and set aside.
• To make the dressing, add everything to a jar (that has a lid), and shake like crazy until emulsified.
• Chop potatoes in halves or quarters (depending how big they are) - you just want them a bit bigger than bite-size pieces.
• Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil & cook pots for about 10 to 15 mins. Until soft - test by inserting a small, sharp knife. Drain and set aside.
• Arrange lettuce leaves on plate. Then *thoughtfully* scatter potatoes, olives & tomatoes onto the plate. Then place beans or asparagus on top.
• Chop eggs into quarters & place around the edge of plate. Drape anchovies over the egg quarters.
• Add tuna on top & then drizzle dressing all over.
• Shake a sexy shimmy of Lucky Taco Chilli Salt on top.
• Add nasturtium flower for garnish if you wish!
