The Riviera's Little Gem: Our Signature Baby Niçoise 🥗
Forget the oversized, overwhelming salad bowl; this is a streamlined, elevated, high-protein take on the South of France's most iconic lunch. We start with a vibrant bed of tender baby greens, the perfect crisp counterpoint to the salad's heartier elements. The protein is twofold: perfectly cooked, buttery baby potatoes that soak up flavor like sponges, and generous flakes of premium tuna, providing a satisfying, savoury richness.

- 250g Baby Potatoes halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 Eggs

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Toss the potatoes with 2 tsp oil and some seasoning.

Tip onto a large baking tray, then roast for 20 mins, stirring halfway, until crisp, golden and cooked through.
-
Meanwhile, put eggs in a small pan of water, bring to the boil, then simmer for 8-10 mins, depending on how you like them cooked.

Plunge into a bowl of cold water to cool for a few mins. Peel away the shells, then cut into halves.

Top with the eggs, then serve straight away.
