Salad Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Green Beans
Blanch the green beans in boiling water for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Once cooled, drain again and set aside.
Prepare the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Assemble the Salad
In a large bowl or platter, layer the mixed salad greens. Top with blanched green beans, canned tuna, cherry tomatoes, black olives, and quartered hard-boiled eggs.
Dress the Salad
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated.
Serve
Serve immediately as a refreshing main dish or side salad.
