Preparation
1
Boil water in a medium saucepan. Add potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender. During the last 5 minutes, add the green beans to the same pot and cook until crisp-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
2
While potatoes and beans cook, hard boil the eggs. Place eggs in a small pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 9-12 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to cool.
3
Prepare the rest of the vegetables: dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion. Drain the canned tuna.
4
For the dressing, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
5
Assemble the salad: On a large serving platter or in individual bowls, arrange the lettuce as a base. Top with cooled potatoes, green beans, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, black olives, drained tuna, and quartered hard-boiled eggs.
6
Drizzle the prepared dressing generously over the salad just before serving.
