Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Wash the lettuce leaves and pat them dry. Boil the eggs, peel them, and carefully cut them into wedges.
Step 2
Clean and rinse the beans. Blanch in lightly salted water for 3–4 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse with cold water, and set aside. Boil the potatoes and slice them into rounds, and slice the tomatoes into thin wedges.
Step 3
Cut the tuna fillet into slices about 1 cm thick, then into smaller pieces. Season the fish with salt and pepper, and sauté it in olive oil over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Finely chop the anchovies.
Step 4
Prepare the sauce. Combine 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Step 5
Arrange the lettuce leaves on individual plates, then artfully layer the remaining ingredients on top. Drizzle the prepared salad with dressing. Garnish with olives.
