Instructions

Step 1

Cook the potatoes in gently boiling water for 20 minutes, until tender.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a salad bowl, mix together the lemon juice, garlic and parsley. Add the red onion and set aside.

Step 3

Drain the cooked potatoes and add them to the salad bowl while they are hot. They will absorb the flavour of the dressing as they cool down.

Step 4

When the potatoes are cool, add the tuna, tomatoes and cucumber. Stir everything together gently and season with black pepper. Serve immediately, or cover and chill to serve later.

Step 5

For a vegetarian version, replace the tuna with 100g reduced-fat feta cheese, cut into chunks.
