Ingredients

Scale

4 cups mixed salad greens

6 ounces green beans

4 large eggs

2 cups baby red or white potatoes

1 (5-ounce) can high-quality tuna, drained

1 cup mixed olives

1 cup grape tomatoes

½ English cucumber

½ small red onion

⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil

¼ cup lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon honey

1 garlic clove

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1-Whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients until fully emulsified and set aside.

2-Place eggs gently into boiling water and cook for 6½ to 7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs with jammy yolks, or cook 3 to 4 minutes longer for hard-boiled. Transfer eggs to ice water, peel, and slice in half.

3-Simmer potatoes in salted water for about 15 minutes until tender, then drain, cool, and slice in half.

4-Blanch green beans in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes, immediately transfer to ice water to stop cooking, then drain.

5-On a large platter, spread the mixed greens as the base. Arrange the potatoes, green beans, tuna, tomatoes, olives, red onion, cucumber, and eggs evenly on top.

6-Season with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with lemon vinaigrette. Use about half of the vinaigrette immediately and reserve the remainder for later.
