Drain the potatoes, but reserve the water, spray oil potatoes, place them in an oven proof dish and cook for 20 mins.

Drain the tuna, then layer everything together, chop the green beans and eggs in half, and drizzle with the dressing.

I served mine with toasted pittas cut in half and then stuffed with the mixture. These need to be pointed extra.
