Provencal Salad - Two Salads in One

Have you ever been torn between the flavors and textures of a potato salad, and those of your usual tossed salad? If so, I strongly recommend the following recipe -- a great way to have the best of both worlds.

The Provencal Salad from Epicurious is a mix that gives you the creamy chew of potatoes and eggs, matches them with the crisp, fresh flavors of tomato and green beans, and then tops it off with capers and tuna. It's quite easy to make, and can be made in stages. Boil the eggs ahead of time, prep the green beans, then just bring it all together as you boil the potatoes.

On it's own, it's a great light meal balanced with a vinagrette dressing (kicked up by the use of champagne vinegar and dijon). But for a real treat -- top it with fried feta. The warmth and saltiness are a perfect addition and really make the salad a meal.
