Cook the potatoes in a pot of salted boiling water until tender. Drain and let cool before cutting into chunks. Cook the green beans in salted boiling water or steam them until just tender but still crisp. Immediately cool in iced water. Hard-boil the eggs, peel, and cut into quarters. In a large serving bowl, arrange the lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, flaked tuna, anchovies, olives, and red onion. Add the egg quarters on top. Make the dressing by whisking together olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour over the salad just before serving and toss gently.
