Derived from the ingredients listed. Always check the packaging on what you buy: recipes and manufacturers both change.

Method

  1. Whisk the lemon juice, oil and mustard together with a pinch of salt and plenty of pepper.

    About 2 minutes

  2. Toss the beans and onion in the dressing and leave for 5 minutes. The onion softens and loses its harshness.

    About 5 minutes

  3. Fold through the tuna, tomatoes, rocket and parsley, keeping the tuna in decent chunks rather than flaking it to paste.

    About 2 minutes
