Like the French, I pack my classic Nicoise salad with veggies, potatoes, tuna and eggs. Cooking the potatoes and beans together helps the dish come together fast. —Valerie Belley, St. Louis, Missouri

Ingredients

1 pound red potatoes (about 2 large), cubed
1/4 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1/2 cup oil and vinegar salad dressing
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest

4 hard-boiled large eggs, sliced
3 pouches (2-1/2 ounces each) light tuna in water
2 medium tomatoes, chopped

Directions

1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, until tender, 8-10 minutes, adding green beans during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain potatoes and beans; immediately drop into ice water. Drain and pat dry.
