Boil the eggs for 6mins. Meanwhile, boil another small pan of water, add a pinch of salt and boil the potatoes for approx. 20mins. With 2mins to go add the green beans. Drain.
Halve the potatoes, peel the eggs and cut into quarters. On four plates, arrange the watercress, lettuce, potatoes, beans, eggs, tomatoes, onion, capers, olives and anchovies as you like.
Heat a griddle or frying pan to hot. Season and oil both sides of the tuna and griddle/fry on each side for 2mins, depending on the size (you need it pink inside, otherwise it’ll be like a piece of rubber!)
Add seasoning to the dressing ingredients and whisk. Lay the tuna over the salad and then drizzle over the dressing. Add the chopped parsley and season with black pepper and a few flakes of sea salt.
