Instructions
- Grill the Tuna: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest.
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the tuna is grilling, blanch the green beans in boiling water for about 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and transfer to ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Make the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl or platter, arrange the mixed greens, green beans, quartered potatoes, sliced cherry tomatoes, black olives, and hard-boiled eggs. Slice the grilled tuna and place it on top.
- Drizzle with Vinaigrette: Drizzle the Dijon vinaigrette over the salad, and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
