Step by step guide to making New season salad nicoise

  1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the sliced potatoes and the eggs, and cook for 7 minutes.
  2. Scoop the eggs out of the pan and set aside, tip in the green beans and cook for a further 4 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes and beans and put with the eggs in a colander under cold running water until cool. Leave to dry.
  4. Next, peel the eggs and cut into quarters. Arrange the lettuce leaves in 2 shallow bowls. Scatter over the beans, potatoes, tomatoes and egg quarters.

  6. Mix the mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of cold water in a bowl until smooth. Season with black pepper and mix in the capers. Drizzle this dressing over the salad and serve.
