Wash the baby new potatoes and boil them in salted water for about 10–12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and allow to cool slightly before slicing into halves.
Trim the ends off the green beans and blanch them in boiling water for 3–4 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking, then drain and set aside.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves, the black olives in halves if desired, and the red onion into thin rings.
Peel and slice the hard-boiled eggs into halves or quarters.
Prepare the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
In a large serving dish or platter, arrange the mixed salad greens as the base.
Layer the cooled potatoes, blanched green beans, cherry tomatoes, black olives, red onion, hard-boiled eggs, and tuna (drained of excess oil) attractively over the salad greens.
Top with anchovy fillets and sprinkle the salad with chopped fresh parsley.
Drizzle the prepared vinaigrette evenly over the salad just before serving. Toss gently if desired, or serve as arranged.
