PROCEDURE:

1. Make the vinaigrette:


-
In a jar, place the oil, lemon juice or vinegar, shallots, herbs, and mustard. Cover with a lid and shake
until well blended. Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Marinate the onion slices in some of the vinaigrette:
-Place onion slices in a small bowl and sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette. (The onions soaking
in the vinaigrette will help take some of the bite out of them.)
3. Cook the potatoes, cut, and dress with vinaigrette:
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with 2 inches of water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt. Heat on high to
bring to a boil. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes or so, until the potatoes
are fork tender. Drain. While the potatoes are still warm, cut them into halves or quarters, depending on
the size of the potatoes. Place them in a bowl and dress them with about 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette.
4. Boil the green beans:
-While the potatoes are cooking, fill a medium sized pot halfway with water, and add 2 teaspoons of salt.
Bring to a boil on high heat. Add the green beans to the boiling water. Cook until tender but still firm to
the bite, about 3 to 5 minutes (more or less, depending on the toughness of the beans). Drain and either
rinse with cold water to stop the cooking, or shock for half a minute in ice water.
5. Arrange the salad on a bed of lettuce:
-Arrange a bed of lettuce on a serving platter. If using tuna steaks, cut them into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Mound tuna in the center of lettuce. Sprinkle the tomatoes and onions around the tuna. Arrange the
potatoes and green beans in mounds at the edge of the lettuce. Arrange hard boiled eggs, olives, and
anchovies (if using) in mounds on the lettuce bed.
6. Drizzle everything with the remaining vinaigrette:
- Sprinkle with capers if using. Serve immediately. Should be served slightly warm or at room temperature.

After that, the containers are refrigerated until completely set. Then, they are cut into small cubes
and set aside.

salt are combined and stirred with a whisk until incorporated. Then, in another bowl the unflavored
gelatin powder and water is combined and mixed until the powder is dissolved. After letting the
mixture rest for 10 minutes, 1 cup of boiling water is added and it is stirred again. Finally, the
gelatin mixture is poured into the milk mixture and whisked until incorporated.

3. The final step is to combine everything in a bundt mold. The jelly cubes are placed first in the mold,
followed by the gelatin-milk mixture. The mold is then placed in the fridge for at least 4 hours or
