Instructions
- 1
Boil potatoes in salted water until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and slice while still warm. Blanch haricots verts in boiling salted water for 3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender, then shock in ice water. Cook eggs in boiling water for 7 minutes (jammy centers), shock in ice water, peel, and halve.

If using fresh tuna, season with salt and pepper. Sear in a very hot, oiled skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until the outside is deeply browned but the center is still pink. Slice thickly.

Make the dressing: whisk Dijon with red wine vinegar, then slowly whisk in olive oil until emulsified. Add tarragon, salt, and pepper.

Dress the warm potatoes with some of the vinaigrette first. Arrange all components on a large platter or individual plates in separate mounds: potatoes, haricots verts, tomatoes, olives, red onion, eggs, and tuna. Drape anchovy fillets over. Drizzle remaining dressing over the entire salad and serve immediately.
