2 large eggs
200g asparagus , woody ends snapped off, spears halved

1 small red onion , very finely chopped
125g cannellini bean from a can, drained
zest and juice ½ lemon
1 tbsp fresh chopped dill

Steps:

Put a pan of water on to boil with a steamer above. When boiling, lower the eggs into the water and steam the asparagus above for 8 mins.
Meanwhile, gently toss all the other ingredients together and arrange on plates or in rigid containers. Plunge the eggs into cold water to cool them a little, then peel and quarter. Add the eggs and asparagus to the tuna salad. Will keep in the fridge for 2 days.
