Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes, and boil 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are tender. (Time will depend on the size and age of the potatoes.)
- While potatoes boil, roughly chop the lettuce. Trim the pointed ends off the green beans. Cut boiled eggs in half.
- Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon, but do not drain the water.
- Add green beans to the boiling pot, and boil 2-3 minutes. Drain the beans, and rinse beans with icy cold water (or plunge into an ice water bath).
- Whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients.
- Next, assemble the salad. Make a bed of lettuce, and then top lettuce with potatoes, green beans, eggs, olives, anchovies, and mackerel. Arrange ingredients in rows or sections for a traditional salad, or toss them all together.
- Lightly dress the salad with the vinaigrette, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Ingredients can be prepared the day before to speed prep time.
