Directions

  1. 1. Combine beans, potatoes, red onion, tuna, and olives in large bowl and toss gently to combine, so as not to break up the tuna chunks. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.
  2. 2. Place garlic, shallot, anchovies, lemon juice, and vinegar in a small bowl and whisk in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. 3. Lightly dress lettuce with vinaigrette and divide among 6 plates. Decoratively arrange hard-boiled egg slices and tomatoes on lettuce, and drizzle with a little vinaigrette.
  4. 4. Dress vegetable and tuna mixture with remaining vinaigrette, tossing gently. Divide evenly among the plates.
