This is another salad from Martha Stwewart - I haven't tried it yet, but it does sound very good, and I know that I will be trying it soon!!

12 ounces fingerling potatoes
2 tablespoons coarse salt
3 large eggs
6 ounces french haricots vert, trimmed
12 large leaves boston lettuce
12 ounces tuna packed in oil, drained and flaked into large pieces (about 2 cups)
18 kalamata olives or 18 oil-cured olives, pitted and halved
6 anchovy fillets
3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup pus 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

1. MAKE THE SALAD: Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, and add enough cold water to cover potatoes by about 1 inch. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes, drain. (cooked potatoes can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 day). When cool enough to handle, halve lengthwise.

4. MAKE THE DRESSING:
