Notes

TIPS: To toast almonds, preheat oven to 200°C or 180°C fan-forced. Spread almonds on a baking tray and bake for 3–4 minutes or until lightly toasted. Cook 2 extra potatoes to make Tuna niçoise salad for next day’s lunch. Cover and place in the fridge. The next day, combine potatoes (quartered) with 85g can tuna in springwater (drained), 80g baby rocket leaves, 4 kalamata olives (halved) and 50g cherry tomatoes to make the salad.
