Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and 2 teaspoons salt. Cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes after the water returns to a boil. Drain the haricots verts, immediately transfer them to a bowl of iced water and let stand just until cool. Drain well.

Mound the mesclun in the center of a large platter. Spoon the artichokes, potatoes, onions, and tomatoes around, not on, the mesclun. Add the hard cooked egg wedges and haricots verts to the platter and drizzle them with a tablespoon or two of vinaigrette. Arrange the steak slices over the mesclun and drizzle with 3 tablespoons of vinaigrette. Scatter the olives and arrange the caper berries decoratively over and around the various components and serve immediately. Pass the remaining vinaigrette at the table.
