Steps
- Cut the peppers into thin strips. Put them in a bowl and season with 2 tablespoons olive oil, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper and a pinch of Herbes de Provence. Spread in an oven-proof dish and place under the grill for about 10 minutes until they start to colour, remove and leave to cool.

- Toast the pine nuts.
- Make the dressing in a large bowl and then toss with the salad leaves. Divide the salad between four attractive plates.
- Add the courgettes, the finely sliced onion and the cooled peppers.
- Cut the baguette into thin slices, slightly at an angle, spread with the tuna topping and place under the grill until golden.
- Arrange the toasts on the salads. Decorate with the pine nuts and olives.
- Serve immediately.
- To make this salad even more summery, add a few basil leaves.
- The peppers and courgettes can be prepared the day before.
