Method

  1. Dressing goes in the bottom of the jar: the oil, the lemon juice, the pepper and the onion. Nothing else touches it until you eat.
  2. Then the tuna, the eggs, quartered, the cucumber and the tomatoes, with the arugula and parsley on top where they stay dry. Packed in that order it travels a whole morning without going soft.
  3. Shake it hard once, upside down, and eat it out of the jar.
Chef’s tipDressing at the bottom, leaves at the top. Layered the other way round the salad marinates all morning and arrives limp. The order is the recipe.
Make it twoDoubles into two jars. Packed the night before it keeps until lunch; add the arugula in the morning if you can.
