Mediterranean Warm Partridge Salad

This light herby summer salad combines the sweetness of roast partridge with different types of beans. Anchovies and capers and a mustardy dressing give it a refreshing brightness. You can cook the partridge, beans and eggs ahead of time and combine all the elements when you’re ready to serve the salad. Just remember to keep the meat pink so it stays juicy.
