Ingredients

Uncooked new potato(es)

4 small, red, quartered

Uncooked green snap beans

½ pound(s), trimmed

Fat free chicken broth

⅓ cup(s)

Red wine vinegar

2 Tbsp

Dijon mustard

2 tsp

Olive oil

2 tsp

Table salt

⅛ tsp, or to taste

Black pepper

⅛ pinch, or to taste

Boston lettuce

4 piece(s)

Canned chunk white tuna in water

6 oz, drained and flaked

Capers

2 Tbsp, drained

Olive(s)

8 large, sliced in half (use nicoise if available)

Instructions

  1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and pour enough water over them to cover by 2 inches. Set pan over high heat and bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 6 minutes. Add green beans and cook until potatoes are fork-tender and green beans are crisp-tender, about 1 to 2 minutes more; drain and transfer vegetables to a large bowl.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together broth, vinegar, mustard and oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add half of dressing to potatoes and green beans; toss to coat.
  3. Place 1 lettuce leaf on each of 4 plates. Top each with 1/4 of potato-green bean mixture, then top with 1 1/2 ounces of tuna, 1/2 tablespoon of capers and 4 olive halves. Drizzle each with 1/4 of remaining dressing.
