Method

  1. Mix the vinegar, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the red onion and set aside for at least 20 mins, stirring occasionally and pressing down into the pickling liquid.
  2. In a large saucepan, boil the potatoes for 20 mins or until tender. Drain well, steam-dry for 2 mins, then halve.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the mustard with 2 tbsp vinegar from the onions and the oil until emulsified; season. Add the potatoes and stir to coat. Set aside for 5 mins to absorb the flavours, then stir in the herbs and soured cream.
  4. Boil the eggs for 8 mins, adding the green beans for the final 3 mins. Drain, run under cold water (to stop the cooking process), then peel the eggs and quarter.
  5. Add half the pickled onion (discarding the vinegar) to the potatoes along with the beans, cucumber, cornichons and quartered Little Gems. Gently mix together, then spoon onto a serving platter and top with the eggs and remaining onion.
