Grill the tuna steaks, brushing them first with a little oil, for about
11One half minutes each side. They should still be pink in the middle.

Make the vinaigrette in the usual way.

Cut the tuna into large chunks, toss in a little dressing and leave to
cool. Slice the potatoes while still hot. If they are very small, leave
them whole. Toss in a little more dressing then leave to cool.

Boil the green beans for about 4 minutes. Drain, run under the cold tap and
then drain again thoroughly and mix in with the potatoes.

Place the remaining dressing in a large salad bowl. Just before serving,
make the salad, starting with the lettuce and adding all the other
ingredients, mixing lightly with your fingers as you go.
