Cooking
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in water and salt until tender. Drain and set aside in a small bowl to cool.
- Cook green beans in water and salt for 2-3 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water.
- Keeping them in separate bowls, cut the potatoes, the green beans (if using fresh), tomatoes and eggs in half. Set aside.
- Remove tuna from package. Pat dry using paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour olive oil into medium sauce pan over medium-low heat. Bring oil to a low simmer, add garlic and tuna. (Small bubbles will appear when tuna is added). Cook for 3-4 minutes per side.* Transfer tuna steaks into a bowl to cool. Once cooled, break into pieces, drizzle some poaching oil over the tuna and set aside.
- Prepare the dressing. Place shallots in a bowl. Add lemon juice, garlic, sugar, Dijon mustard and mix. Using a whisk, add olive oil in a stream. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the lettuce among plates, arrange potatoes, green beans, olives, tuna and tomatoes in small piles on lettuce. Place eggs in the center and drizzle with salad dressing.
*USDA recommends cooking fish and shellfish to a minimum internal temperature of 145°F.
