  4. Place eggs in small saucean, cover by 1-inch with cold water, and bring to boil over high heat. Remove pan from heat. Cover and let stand 10 minutes.

Dry beans well on triple layer of paper towels. Toss beans, 3 tablespoons vinaigrette and salt and pepper to taste in now empty bowl; arrange in separate mound at edge of lettuce bed.
