Copyright, 2006, Robin Miller, All rights reserved

Ingredients
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 cups mesclun greens
2 (8-ounce) tuna steaks, grilled
1/2 cup pitted Nicoise olives, halved lengthwise
1 cup whole or sliced grape or cherry tomatoes
1 pound reserved Yukon gold potatoes, parboiled and cut into chunks
1 cup green beans, cooked

2 tablespoons drained capers
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup shredded or grated Parmesan

Instructions
Combine the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, dried oregano,
salt, and pepper in a bowl and whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in olive oil until
emulsified. Add the mesclun greens to bowl with dressing and toss. Put greens on
platter and set bowl aside with leftover dressing, to drizzle over other
ingredients at end.

Slice tuna steaks on bias and arrange on top of greens. Scatter the olives and
cherry or grape tomatoes over the salad. Add the reserved, cooked and cut Yukon
gold potatoes and reserved green beans. Drain capers and scatter on top of greens.

With kitchen shears, snip the parsley over the salad. Sprinkle shredded Parmesan
over top of salad along with any leftover dressing.
