Yield six to eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 new potatoes, scrubbed
1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 1/2 tablespoons wine vinegar
Minced parsley or snipped chives to taste
1/3 cup olive oil
2 pounds lightly cooked green beans
10 Italian plum or 6 Jersey tomatoes, very ripe
1 small purple onion, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup nicoise or any oil-cured olives (do not use canned)
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
Freshly ground pepper to taste
6 hard-cooked eggs, shelled and quartered
12 ounces oil-packed white tuna, drained
2 ounces anchovy fillets

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes about nine minutes. When cool, quarter; transfer to large bowl.
  • Make vinaigrette by mixing the mustard, the wine vinegar, and the chives or parsley; then slowly drizzle in the olive oil, constantly whisking. Set aside.
  • Add the green beans, tomatoes, onion, olives, Italian parsley and pepper to the potatoes. Pour half the vinaigrette over the vegetables, and toss gently.
  • Just before serving, transfer the salad to a large serving platter. Arrange the egg quarters around the platter. Flake the tuna over the salad, and arrange the anchovy fillets over the tuna. Drizzle with remaining vinaigrette.
