  • ¾ to 1 cup vinaigrette
  • 1 head Boston lettuce, separated, washed, and dried
  • A large salad bowl or shallow dish
  • 3 cups cold French salad
  • ½ cup pitted black olives
  • 3 hard boiled eggs, cold, peeled and quartered
  • 12 canned anchovy fillets, drained, either flat or rolled with capers

Just before serving, season beans and tomatoes with several spoonfuls of dressing. Toss the salad leaves in the salad bowl with ¼ cup of vinaigrette and place leaves about bowl. Arrange potatoes in bottom of bowl; decorate with the beans and tomatoes, interspersing them with a design of tuna, olives, eggs, and anchovies. Pour remaining dressing over salad, sprinkle with herbs, and serve.
