Broad bean, tuna and spring onion salad

I may have made this even more exciting/even worse (take your pick), by adding the remains of your boiled egg to the mix. Well, I liked it.

Makes enough for 1.

You'll need:

1/2 a tin of tuna
8-10 pods of broad beans (you want a nice double handful of beans)
a couple of spring onions, finely chopped
a splash of balsamic vinegar
a good slurp of olive oil
lots of black pepper

Pod the beans, then cook in boiling water for 5-7 minutes until tender. Don't add salt, or overboil them, or they'll be very tough.

Drain, and decant to a bowl. Add the spring onion, tuna (and any boiled eggs you happen to have lying around), and then dress with a good slurp of olive oil/balsamic vinegar, and lots of black pepper.

Serve with some slices of baguette, spread with butter.
