Grill the tuna steaks, brushing them first with a little oil, for about
1-11/2 minutes each side. They should still be pink in the middle.

Make the vinaigrette in the usual way.

Cut the tuna into large chunks, toss in a little dressing and leave to
cool. Slice the potatoes while still hot. If they are very small, leave
them whole. Toss in a little more dressing then leave to cool.

Boil the green beans for about 4 minutes. Drain, run under the cold tap and
then drain again thoroughly and mix in with the potatoes.

Place the remaining dressing in a large salad bowl. Just before serving,
make the salad, starting with the lettuce and adding all the other
ingredients, mixing lightly with your fingers as you go.
