Ingredients

  • 1 cup Wish-Bone® Italian Dressing, divided
  • 1 lb. tuna or salmon steaks OR 2 cans (6 oz. ea.) tuna, drained and flaked
  • 12 ounces potatoes, cubed (about 2-1/2 cups)
  • 8 ounces green beans, trimmed and halved (about 2-1/2 cups)
  • 8 cups mesclun or mixed salad greens 
  • 2 hard-cooked eggs, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Pour 1/4 cup Wish-Bone® Italian Dressing over tuna in large, shallow nonaluminum baking dish or plastic bag; turn to coat. Cover, or close bag, and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, add potatoes to 2-quart saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes.

  4. Arrange salad greens on serving platter. Top with eggs, tomato, sliced tuna and olives. Drizzle with remaining Dressing.
