Ingredients
8 ounces Small Red Potatoes4 ounces Green Beans
2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
1⁄2 teaspoon Salt
1⁄2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1⁄2 cup Olive Oil
20 ounces Romaine Lettuce (torn into bite-sized pieces)
4 whole Eggs (hard boiled, quartered)
2 ounces Anchovy Fillets
2 tablespoons Capers
6 ounces Tuna (drained)
1⁄4 cup Pimentos
1⁄4 cup Kalamata Olives (chopped)
Directions
- Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan of salted water and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes and then stir in the green beans. Continue boiling until the beans and potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes longer.
- Drain thoroughly. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them and cut them into quarters.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Add the oil slowly, whisking until emulsified. In a large bowl, toss the romaine with 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette and then transfer to large platter.
- In the same bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette and pile them on top of the romaine. Repeat with the green beans and the eggs, tossing each with 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette and then arranging it on the romaine.
- Arrange the anchovies, capers, tuna, pimientos, and olives in piles on the lettuce. Pass any remaining vinaigrette at the table.
