Salad - Warm Potato & Tuna Salad

Serves 4

50 gr new potatoes, halved lengthwise if large
2 T pesto
4 T olive oil
8 cherry tomatoes
175 gr canned tuna
200 gr green beans, halved
Couple of handfuls of spinach, preferable baby leaves; tear if larger

Put potatoes in pan of boiling water, bring back to boil and simmer 8-10 mins until tender.
Meanwhile, mix pesto and oil to make dressing. Halve the tomatoes, drain and flake tuna. Add the beans to the potatoes for the last 3 minutes of cooking time.

Drain potatoes and beans and tip into a salad bowl. Stir in spinach so that it wilts a bit in the warmth from the veggies. Season with s & p. Scatter tomatoes and tuna on top, drizzle with pesto and gently toss everything together.

3/3/12  I made this with leftover duck without the pesto (altho David put some on his) and it was great.  The "serves 4" must mean as a first course - I made about the same measurements, or even a bit more, and it was a great meal for us.  Delicious!
