Ingredients

  • 4 cups water
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes
  • 14 cup olive oil
  • 2 12 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp West Coast Burger Seasoning, divided
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 12 lb (225 g) fresh or frozen green beans
  • 2 cans (170 g each) tuna
  • 8 cups spring salad mix
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp olives, preferably niçoise

Preparation

  1. In Multipurpose Pot bring water to a boil, with lid on. Place eggs in boiling water. Cook 7 min. Drain, cool in ice water, peel, and quarter. The yolk should be soft and jammy.
  2. While the eggs are cooking, slice any large baby potatoes in half; place in Multipurpose Steamer. Cover; microwave on high until tender, about 6 min.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare dressing. In a bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, 1 tbsp seasoning, and mustard.
  4. Once potatoes are cooked, remove from steamer and place in a bowl to cool slightly. Toss potatoes with 2 tbsp of the prepared dressing.
  5. Add green beans to steamer (don’t wash); cover, microwave until tender-crisp, about 3–5 min. Rinse in cold water to cool and stop the cooking.
  6. Drain tuna. Mix with remaining 1 tbsp seasoning.
  7. In a large serving bowl or platter, arrange lettuce. Place eggs, potatoes, beans, tuna, tomatoes, and olives on top. Drizzle with dressing.
