1Boil the eggs 10 minutes; cool, peel, quarter.

2Salt the chopped tomatoes and let them sit 5 minutes - they release their juice, which becomes part of the dressing.

3Add the onion, tuna in flakes and eggs.

4Dress with olive oil and a splash of sherry vinegar; toss gently - don't crush the tomatoes.

5Taste and adjust; this salad lives or dies on tomato quality and olive oil.

6Serve at room temperature with good bread to mop the juices.
