French Niçoise Salad

INSTRUCTIONS

  First, boil the potatoes: Wash them thoroughly with a brush under running water (but do not peel), then place them in a small pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes into quarters and the Little Gem lettuce into smaller pieces. Once the water in the pot starts boiling, salt it, reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot with a lid, and cook the potatoes for 14⁠–⁠15 minutes.

  While the potatoes are cooking, boil the eggs: Place them in a small pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, and cook for 7⁠–⁠8 minutes over medium to high heat. After cooking, quickly cool the eggs in cold water.

  Approximately 2 minutes before the potatoes are done, add the green beans to the pot. Once the potatoes and green beans are cooked, drain them and cool under running water. Then cut each cooked potato in half.
