Instructions

  1. Make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients in a bowl or salad dressing mixer. Set aside.
  2. Bring a medium size pot of salted water to boil and add the French green beans. Boil for 5-6 minutes, until the beans are soft but still yielding a nice crunch. Drain and plunge in cold water. Set aside

  6. Divide the vegetables among the two plates and add the hard boiled eggs, anchovies, olives and tuna.
