Our version of this French salad deviates a bit from tradition with the addition of lettuce leaves, vinegar, and potatoes to the classic combination of canned tuna, tomatoes, black olives, green beans, eggs, and anchovies. Serve as a light lunch entrée.

Place the potatoes in a small pot of cold water and cook until just tender, about 7—8 minutes. Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the beans until just tender, about 3—4 minutes. Line 4 plates with 2 romaine leaves each. Artistically arrange the potatoes, beans, tomatoes, anchovies, olives, capers, and tuna on the lettuce leaves. Drizzle with dressing and garnish with eggs.
