Spinach Nicoise Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 lb green beans, washed and trimmed
1/2 lb baby spinach leaves, washed and patted dry
1 small head romaine lettuce, washed and patted dry
2 eggs, hard-boiled and sliced
1 (12 ounce) can tuna in water, drained
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1/2 cup nicoise olive, drained
1/2 lb grape tomatoes, rinsed
DRESSING
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1 garlic clove, mincd
1/4 cup fresh tarragon, minced
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Blanch green beans until just tender, 3-4 minutes. Remove immediately and dunk in a bowl of cold water to halt cooking and set color. Drain and set aside.
You can arrange the salad \"artfully\" on 6 plates, as the author suggests, or you can combine the spinach and lettuce and add the remaining salad ingredients on top.
Whisk dressing ingredients together and drizzle as you wish, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
