Ingredients
Cooking Directions
Shortly before serving, line a handsome, large and wide salad bowl or a roomy platter with lettuce leaves, drizzle a little olive oil on them, and dust with a sprinkling of salt.
Toss the beans in a mixing bowl with a little of the dressing, and correct seasoning.
Drizzle a spoonful or two of the dressing over the tomatoes.
Season the tuna lightly with a spoonful or two of dressing.
Place the potatoes in the center of the bowl or platter; mound beans at strategic intervals, interspersing them with tomatoes and mounds of tuna.
Ring the salad with the eggs and curl an anchovy filet on top of each.
Spoon a little more vinaigrette over all; scatter on olives, capers, and parsley. Serve as soon as possible.
