Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork tender, about 10 minutes depending on size. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. When they are cool, cut in half or into quarters if they are large
Add the haricot verts to the potato water and boil for 2 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
Place the lettuce leaves as a base on a large platter. Arrange all of the salad items on top of the lettuce and season with salt and pepper.
Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a large jar and shake vigorously until well combined. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and devour!
