Prep
Dice the potato into 1-inch cubes, quarter the hard-boiled egg, halve the tomatoes, slice the red onion thinly, and chop the parsley.

In a pot of salted water, cook the diced potato over high heat for 12 minutes until a knife slides through easily, then drain and cool.
3

In a small pot of cold water, bring the egg to a boil over high heat, reduce to medium, and simmer 9 minutes until fully set; drain and cool.
4
Boil
Blanch the trimmed green beans in salted water over medium-high heat for 3 minutes until bright green and just tender; drain and cool.
5
Poach
Slide the tuna fillet into barely simmering water over medium-low heat and poach 6 to 8 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork.
6
Whisk
In a bowl, whisk the sherry vinegar, olive oil, and Dijon mustard together until smoothly combined.
7
Build
Toss the cooled potato, green beans, tomatoes, capers, and red onion with the dressing until evenly coated.
