600g potatoes cut into cubes

Place potatoes, carrots and peas into the Varoma.
 
Pour the water into the TM bowl, place the eggs inside the basket and position the Varoma on the lid.  Cook for 15 minutes at Varoma temperature on speed 1.  Remove the eggs from the basket and allow to cool in cold water.

Put 3 shelled eggs, olives and cucumbers in the TM bowl, chop roughly for 2 seconds at speed 4.

Transfer the mixture to the salad bowl, add the tuna broken into small chunks with 2/3 of the mayonnaise and mix gently. Transfer into a serving dish and cover with the remaining mayonnaise.  Decorate with strips of peppers, tomatoes, lettuce leaves, remaining egg cut into slices and olives. Store in refrigerator until serving.
