Quinoa niçoise salad

PREP + COOK TIME 35 MINS SERVES 4

A niçoise salad is traditionally made with boiled potatoes; adding quinoa gives it a superfood twist. You could use any canned seafood for a change. If you want to ‘centre’ the egg yolks, gently stir the eggs until the water comes to the boil.

1½ cups red quinoa
4 eggs, at room temperature
200g green beans, trimmed
425g canned tuna in oil, drained, flaked
250g cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup pitted Kalamata olives
½ cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tbsp finely chopped chives
