Servings 8
Ingredients
- ½ pound baby Yukon gold potatoes
- 12 ounces tuna in olive oil, drained
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ⅔ cup artichoke hearts, halved
- ⅔ cup green and black olives
- 5 ounces green beans
- 4 whole eggs
- ⅓ cup red onion, sliced thin
- 1 batch Citrus Vinaigrette
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a saucepan of water to boil and boil your eggs. I like mine slightly under hard boiled, but you can make them to your liking. Once they’re ready, peel and slice them in half.
- While the eggs are boiling, you can prepare the Citrus Dressing. Then place it in the fridge to allow it to chill while you prepare the salad.
- Using the same boiling water from the eggs, boil the potatoes until they are fork tender. Mine took about 10 minutes, but this will vary depending on the size of your potatoes.
- Once the potatoes are ready, drain and set them aside to cool. You can use the same boiling water to boil the green beans. Boil for 6-8 minutes, depending on how firm or soft you like your green beans. Mine took exactly 7 minutes.
- Plunge the cooked green beans into an iced water bath to stop the cooking. This also sets the beautiful green color.
- Prepare the remaining salad ingredients, placing the green beans, potatoes and halved tomatoes in groups on your platter.
- Continue arranging the remaining ingredients on the platter, also in similar groups. Alternatively, you can arrange the ingredients in strips or simply mix them all together.
- Once the salad is assembled, sprinkle salt and pepper over the tops.
- When you are ready to serve, drizzle the dressing over the salad.
