We’ve given classic Tuna Niçoise a vegetarian makeover by swapping tuna for protein-rich Puy lentils. There’s so much flavour in the sprightly dressing, piquant olives and soft-boiled eggs, you won’t miss the tuna fish.
Add eggs to a small pan of salted simmering water, cook for 8min. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk all the dressing ingredients together and season. Set aside.
Step 2
Remove eggs with a slotted spoon (keeping the pan of water on the heat) into a bowl of ice-cold water to prevent further cooking. Leave eggs to cool for 5min, then drain. Peel eggs and cut in half.
Step 3
Bring the pan of water back to the boil, add beans and cook for 3-4min until al dente. Drain and transfer into a bowl of ice-cold water to cool; drain again.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss beans and lentils with half of the dressing. Tip on to a platter, scatter over olives, radishes and halved eggs. Drizzle over remaining dressing and serve straight away.
An experienced and highly skilled team of food writers, stylists and digital content producers, the Good Housekeeping Cookery Team is a close-knit squad of food obsessives. Cookery Editor Emma Franklin is our resident chilli obsessive and barbecue expert, who spends an inordinate amount of time on holidays poking round the local supermarkets seeking out new and exciting foods. Senior Cookery Writer Alice Shields is a former pastry chef and baking fanatic who loves making bread and would have peanut butter with everything if she could. Her favourite carb is pasta, and our vibrant green spaghetti is her weeknight go-to. Lover of all things savoury, Senior Cookery Writer Grace Evans can be found eating crispy corn and nocellara olives at every opportunity, and will take the cheeseboard over dessert any time (though she cannot resist a slice of tres leches cake). With a wealth of professional kitchen know-how, culinary training and years of experience between them, they are all dedicated to ensuring every Good Housekeeping recipe is the best it can be, so you can trust they’ll work (and if they don’t – we’ll have the answer for why*) every time (*90% of the time the answer is: “buy an separate oven thermometer”!).
