- Boil new potatoes till fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool.
- Place the pan back on the heat and fill halfway with water. Bring to the boil, then add the green beans. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes, until tender but crisp. Drain immediately and immerse in a bath of ice water.
- Pan-fry tuna in frying pan with a bit of olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper. I like to cook my tuna all the way through, but cook it as you like it.
- Start assembling the salad: Lay lettuce leaves over a large serving plate. Scatter the tomatoes, green beans and potatoes around the edges. Place the tuna steaks and anchovies in the centre.
- Make the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar and English mustard. Pour over salad, then serve!
