Method
- Put the eggs in a small pan of cold water. Bring to the boil, cook for 4-5 minutes, then plunge into cold water. Cool the eggs, then peel and halve.
- Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a second pan of cold salted water, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes or until tender, adding the beans for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain and refresh the beans in cold water. Leave the potatoes until cool, then slice into halves (or quarters if large).
- Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, garlic and olive oil in a small bowl with salt and pepper until emulsified into a dressing for the salad.
- Toss together the potatoes, beans, olives, lettuce and half the dressing. Divide between 2 plates, then add 1-2 eggs and a mackerel fillet (flaked, if you like) to each. Sprinkle over the parsley and serve with the rest of the dressing on the side (or keep for another day).
