Instructions
Prepare the dressing by whisking together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the tuna steaks with salt and pepper, then sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your preference. Remove from heat and let rest.
Arrange the mixed salad greens on a large platter or individual plates.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, and peel and quarter the hard-boiled eggs. Add the tomatoes, eggs, steamed green beans, and black olives to the salad.
Slice the seared tuna into thin strips and place them on top of the salad.
Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the salad.
Sprinkle capers over the top as a garnish, and serve immediately.
