This version of the recipe modified as it comes from the Curves Fitness &amp;  Weight Management Plan book and found on page 63. This version omits the eggs  and anchovies, but there seems to be a debate by purists who argue about the  use of lettuce and potatoes in the original preparation.<\/p>\n<p>The recipe written  in a short paragraph, and is intended for individual portions. The Curves  recipe also calls for 3 cups of Romaine lettuce per serving, which seems like a  lot of lettuce, so we actually made ours with about half of that amount, but if  you really like lettuce then go for it.\u00a0For the potatoes, we used baby new  red potatoes boiled with a little Cajun Spice mix and some garlic salt until al  dente, and then allowed them to cool. The steamed fresh green beans cooked to  al dente, and then chilled them as well. Picked fresh parsley from our front  herb garden along with some of our ripe tomatoes from the vine, and then  finished with the fresh cracked pepper and a touch of sea salt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Curves Recipe:<\/strong> Arrange 6 oz tuna  (packed in water), \u00bd cup fresh steamed green beans, and 1 medium (6 oz) cooked  potato cut into chunks, 8 large olives, \u00bd medium tomato sliced and thin slices  of onion to taste atop 3 cups Romaine lettuce. Garnish with 1 tablespoon capers  and \u00bc cup minced parsley, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with balsamic  vinegar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This version of the recipe modified as it comes from the Curves Fitness &#038; Weight Management Plan book and found on page 63.
