Juice of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 teaspoons anchovy paste
1 tablespoon capers, finely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 large eggs
1/2 pound haricots verts, stem ends trimmed

1 head red leaf lettuce
1 head Boston lettuce
1/2 pint red cherry tomatoes
1/2 pint yellow cherry tomatoes
3 (6-ounce) jars imported tuna in olive oil, drained

Steps:

  • Heat a well-seasoned grill pan over high heat.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, shallot, anchovy paste, and capers. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Set aside. Place eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with several inches of cold water. Place the pan, uncovered, over high heat, stirring occasionally, until just before the water comes to a boil. Cover, turn off the heat, and cook for 12 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs with a slotted spoon to ice bath. Let cool completely, about 5 minutes. Pat dry, one egg at a time; peel and halve. Set aside.
  • Prepare an ice bath. Fill a medium saucepan with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook haricots verts until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately transfer beans, with slotted spoon, to ice bath. Drain well and pat dry. Drizzle with rice wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
