Ingredients

Method

In large heatproof bowl, cover haricots verts with boiling water; cover and let stand until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain; transfer to bowl of ice water to chill. Drain; pat dry.

Meanwhile, in large bowl, stir together anchovies, shallot, oil, tarragon, vinegar and mustard. Reserve 1/4 cup in small bowl. Add haricots verts, kale and tomatoes to remaining vinaigrette; toss to coat. 

Divide salad among plates; top with eggs, fish, olives and capers; drizzle with reserved 1/4 cup vinaigrette.

Test Kitchen Tip: Haricots verts, or French green beans, are younger and thinner than other green beans. You can substitute with thicker varieties; simply halve them and extend the cooking time to 15 minutes.
