Set 3 slices of cucumber around the edge of each plate. In between the cucumbers, set wedges of roasted potato and hard boiled egg.

Toss the greens with 2 more tablespoons of the caper vinaigrette and set a pile of greens in the middle of each plate. Gently heat the remaining vinaigrette in microwave oven or in a saucepan.

In a non-stick skillet over high heat, saut‚ the tuna steaks 2 to 3 minutes per side and set them on top of the salad. Drizzle the warm vinaigrette over the tuna and the other ingredients. Top the tuna with fried sweet potatoes or diced tomatoes and basil, if desired.
