Niçoise-Style Salad in a Jar
This crisp, niçoise-style salad is bursting with flavour and freshness. We like arugula, but you can replace it with Boston, bibb or baby romaine lettuce.

Instructions
  1. In a saucepan of boiling salted water, cook potatoes just until tender, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove potatoes and let cool enough to handle.
  2. Slice potatoes.
  3. Meanwhile, cook beans in same pot of boiling water until tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and cover with enough cold water to cool. Drain again.
  4. Divide dressing among 6 Mason jars. Build layers, beginning with potatoes, then green beans, tomatoes, red onion, tuna, eggs, olives and artichokes, dividing each among the jars.
  5. Finish with arugula, lightly packing as much as can fit in remaining space. Seal with lid and keep refrigerated for up to 2 days. When ready to eat, shake jar vigorously to distribute dressing before removing lid.
Dressing
  1. In a bowl (or using a Mason jar with a tight-fitting lid), whisk (or shake) oil, vinegar, mustard, herbs, salt and pepper to blend.
