Step 1
Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, ~12 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
Step 2
Meanwhile, boil eggs in salted water until whites are set but yolks still jiggle, ~6 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer eggs to ice water. Let cool 3 minutes, then peel and halve.
Step 4
Halve cherry tomatoes. Slice cucumber into thin rounds. Tear potatoes in half.
Step 5
Pat tuna dry. Season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 6
Sear tuna 90 seconds per side without moving. Center should stay rare. Slice into 1/4-inch strips.
Step 7
Whisk lemon juice, 1 tsp Dijon, 3 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Step 8
Toss greens with half the vinaigrette. Divide between two plates.
Step 9
