After about 30 seconds, dump the beans into a colander to drain.Mix the vinegar, garlic, and dry mustard in the salad bowl. Drizzle the olive oil into this mixture while whisking vigorously. Take the drained green beans and toss them in this dressing; let them rest there while you prepare the rest of the salad. Add the green onion, tomato, and lettuce, and toss to coat. Remove salad to a smaller bowl and top with the capers, tuna, and chive flowers. Drizzle any dressing remaining in the large bowl over the tuna and serve.Number of Servings: 1Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user RACHELRHF.
