Ingredients

2 cups salad greens
1 cup pasta cooked
1 can (140gm) tuna drained and gently flaked
230 gm green beans uncooked or lightly steamed
2 hard-boiled eggs sliced

Dressing

2 egg yolks
1 tsp garlic minced
1 Tbsp prepared mustard coarse-ground
1 Tbsp white vinegar
2 Tbsp olive oil
½ lemon juice

Instructions

In a large bowl combine salad greens, pasta and tuna.
To steam the green beans, place 1/2 cup of water in a saute pan and cook over medium-high heat until most of the water has evaporated and the beans are bright green. Add to salad.
To make the dressing: Put the egg yolks, garlic, mustard and vinegar in a blender. Turn blender to low speed to incorporate the ingredients, then keep motor running and carefully drizzle in oil and lemon juice. Add more oil if you like a thinner dressing. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add dressing and hard boiled eggs to salad, toss gently.
