Ingredients
- 4 small new potatoes, halved
- 100g green beans, trimmed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 can (150g) tuna in olive oil, drained
- 100g mixed salad greens
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup Niçoise olives
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a saucepan, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Add green beans for the last 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Place eggs in a small saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 8 minutes for hard-boiled. Transfer to ice water, peel, and quarter.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
- Arrange salad greens on a large platter or individual plates. Top with potatoes, green beans, tuna, egg quarters, tomatoes, olives, capers, and red onion.
- Drizzle with vinaigrette and serve immediately.
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, omit tuna and add extra beans or artichoke hearts.
- The salad can be prepared ahead and assembled just before serving.
