1
Cook the Potatoes
Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool before slicing.
2
Prepare the Eggs
In a small pot, bring water to a boil. Gently add the eggs and boil for 9-10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. Remove from heat, cool in ice water, peel, and slice.
3
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Chop into bite-sized pieces.
4
Blanch the French Beans
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the French beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately immerse in ice water to stop cooking.
5
Blacken the Tuna
Season the tuna with a blend of spices (paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, and pepper). Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the tuna for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove and let rest before slicing.

6
Combine Ingredients
In a large salad bowl, combine the artisan greens, sliced potatoes, French beans, cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, and bacon.
7
Add Tuna and Eggs
Top the salad with the sliced blackened tuna and hard-boiled egg slices.
