In a glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Add the oil slowly, whisking.
In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, toss the romaine with ¼ cup of the vinaigrette and then transfer to a platter or individual plates.
In the same bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette and pile them on top of the romaine. Repeat with the green beans and the eggs, tossing each with 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette and then arranging it on the romaine.
Arrange the anchovies, capers, tuna, pimientos and olives in piles on the lettuce.
Serve and enjoy!
