Method

Heat the oven to 200°C fan/gas 7. Toss the potatoes with 2 tbsp mustard, 1 tbsp oil, and some salt and pepper. Spread over a large baking tray and roast for 20 minutes. Toss with 2 tsp honey, then roast for 8-10 minutes more until golden.
Whisk the remaining 1 tbsp mustard and 1 tsp honey in a small bowl and slowly drizzle in the remaining 4 tbsp oil. Season with salt and cracked black pepper, then set aside.
While the potatoes roast, bring 2 pans of water to the boil. Carefully lower the eggs into one and cook at a gentle simmer for 7 minutes for a jammy yolk (or longer if you like your yolks more set). Plunge the eggs into a bowl of iced water, then peel and halve or slice.

Add salt to the other pan of water and cook the asparagus/ beans for 1-2 minutes until just cooked (thicker spears of asparagus will need 1-2 minutes longer). Drain, then toss with the potatoes, most of the dressing and the rest of the ingredients. Serve with the remaining dressing and, if you like, crusty bread.

Easy swaps: Switch the tuna for another tinned fish like salmon or sardines. Use your favourite seasonal vegetables or bulk it out with other storecupboard heroes like butterbeans, cannellini beans, sweetcorn or sun-dried toms.
