Ingredients
Salad
3 potatoes, fresh, medium , red, sliced
1 tbsp fresh chopped green onion (scallion)
1 pinch salt and pepper
0.5 lb fresh green beans
1 head Boston lettuce , rinsed
2 Fish, tuna, white, with water, drained, can , well drained (about 9 oz can)
1 pinch salt and pepper
1 Cucumber, fresh, medium , peeled and thinly sliced
2 fresh tomatoes , quartered
2 large hard-boiled eggs , sliced (optional)

Vinaigrette Dressing
0.5 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp chopped parsley
0.25 cup fresh chopped red onion

1 tsp dijon mustard
3 tbsp olive oil


Directions
1 Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan; cover with salted water. Cook, uncovered, until tender when pierced with a fork, about 20 to 25 minutes.
2 Drain, peel, and slice. Combine with the chopped green onion, salt, and pepper; set aside.
3 Snip the ends off the green beans. In a microwave-safe dish, cook the green beans in a small amount of salted water, covered, in the microwave or on the stove-top until crisp-tender. Drain.
4 Line a large platter with the lettuce. Arrange the green beans over the lettuce. Blend dressing ingredients together. Drizzle salad with 1/4 cup Vinaigrette Dressing.
5 Around the edges of the tuna, arrange the potato slices, cucumber slices, tomato wedges, and egg slices. Pour the remaining Vinaigrette Dressing over all.
6 Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
