Ingredients:

3 tablespoons white wine vinegar

2 tablespoons water

1 1/2 teaspoons dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon olive oil

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1/4 pound fresh green beans

2 small round red potatoes (about 1/4 pound)

2 tablespoons julienne-sliced sweet red pepper

1 tablespoon chopped purple onion

1 (6-ounce) tuna steak (3/4 inch thick)

1/2 teaspoon olive oil

vegetable cooking spray

2 cups torn fresh spinach

4 cherry tomatoes, quartered

1 tablespoon sliced ripe olives

Directions:

1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small jar; cover tightly, and shake vigorously. Set aside.
2. Wash beans; remove ends. Arrange beans in a vegetable steamer over boiling water. Cover and steam 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain.
3. Wash potatoes. Cook in boiling water to cover 20 minutes or just until tender. Drain and cool slightly. Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
4. Combine green beans, potato, sweet red pepper, and onion; toss gently. Add half of vinegar mixture; toss gently. Cover and chill 2 hours.
5. Brush tuna steak with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil. Place on rack of a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 5 1/2 inches from heat (with electric oven door partially opened) 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Flake fish into pieces.
6. Place spinach on a serving plate. Arrange green bean mixture, tuna, tomato, and olives evenly over spinach. Drizzle remaining vinegar mixture evenly over salad.
