1
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash and dry the mixed salad greens. Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber, and trim the green beans. Peel and quarter the hard-boiled eggs. Slice the red onion thinly.
2
Blanch the Green Beans
In a pot of boiling salted water, blanch the green beans for about 3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cool, drain again.
3
Assemble the Salad
In a large serving bowl, combine the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, green beans, quartered hard-boiled eggs, canned tuna (drained), Kalamata olives, and sliced red onion.
4
Add Dressing and Garnish
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
