Ingredients

  • 220ml olive oil
  • 1 large brown onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground white pepper
  • 70ml white wine vinegar
  • 300g green beans, blanched
  • 2 handfuls baby spinach
  • 4 slices sourdough bread, crusts removed, torn and lightly toasted
  • 1 small cucumber, sliced
  • 400g tinned tuna (optional - exclude for vegetarians)

Method

To make the dressing

Warm the olive oil in a saucepan. Add onion and garlic and season well. Cook gently until onions are soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and add vinegar.

To assemble the salad

Place remaining ingredients in a large bowl and toss together. Dress with onion dressing five minutes before serving so the bread soaks up the dressing and softens a little.
