Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp shallot, 1 medium, minced
1 tbsp thyme leaves, minced fresh
2 tbsp basil leaves, minced fresh
2 tsp oregano leaves, minced fresh
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 pinch of salt
1/8 tsp pepper, black freshly ground
16 oz tuna steaks, grilled or otherwise cooked * (2 x 8 oz each) or 2-3 cans of tuna
6 eggs, hard boiled peeled and either halved or quartered
1 1/4 lb red potatoes (each about 2 inches in diameter , about 10 small in total), each potato scrubbed and quartered
1 pinch of salt
1/8 tsp pepper, black freshly ground
6 cups lettuce (about 2 medium heads boston
3 small tomatoes, ripe, cored and cut into eighths
1 small red onion, sliced very thin
8 oz green beans, stem ends trimmed and each bean halved crosswise
6 olives , about 1/4 cup nioise
2 tbsp capers, rinsed and/or several anchovies (optional)

Directions:

*Marinate tuna steaks in a little olive oil for an hour. Heat a large skillet on medium high heat, or place on a hot grill. Cook the steaks 2 to 3 minutes on each side until cooked through.
Whisk lemon juice, oil, shallot, thyme, basil, oregano, and mustard in medium bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
Bring potatoes and 4 quarts cold water to boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon salt and cook until potatoes are tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon (do not discard boiling water). Toss warm potatoes with 1/4 cup vinaigrette; set aside.
While potatoes are cooking, toss lettuce with 1/4 cup vinaigrette in large bowl until coated. Arrange bed of lettuce on a serving platter (I used two serving platters, shown in the photos). Cut tuna into 1/2-inch thick slices, coat with vinaigrette. Mound tuna in center of lettuce. Toss tomatoes, red onion, 3 tablespoons vinaigrette, and salt and pepper to taste in bowl; arrange tomato-onion mixture on the lettuce bed. Arrange reserved potatoes in a mound at edge of lettuce bed.
Return water to boil; add 1 tablespoon salt and green beans. Cook until tender but crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain beans, transfer to reserved ice water, and let stand until just cool, about 30 seconds; dry beans well. Toss beans, 3 tablespoons vinaigrette, and salt and pepper to taste; arrange in a mound at edge of lettuce bed.
Arrange hard boiled eggs, olives, and anchovies (if using) in mounds on the lettuce bed. Drizzle eggs with remaining 2 tablespoons dressing, sprinkle entire salad with capers (if using), and serve immediately.
