📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add the potatoes to a medium saucepan, and cover with water. Season the water with a good pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Boil the potatoes until tender, 10 to ⏱️ 12 minutes. Drain, halve, and set aside to cool.
2
Meanwhile, bring a second saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans, and cook for ⏱️ 2 minutes to soften and brighten the color. Remove, and immediately submerge the green beans in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, remove the green beans to a paper towel-lined plate, and set aside.
3
Make the dressing by adding the lemon juice, pesto, honey, and dijon to a mason jar with a lid. Top with the olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and the pepper. Secure the lid, and shake until the dressing is combined and emulsified. Set aside.
4
To assemble the salad, lay the butter lettuce leaves on a platter. Arrange the potatoes, green beans, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, artichokes, olives, pickled onions, and cucumber in rows and piles around the platter. Break the tuna into chunks and add it to the platter. Scatter the capers over the platter. Drizzle with a little of the dressing and sprinkle with the basil. Serve with the remaining dressing on the side.
