Prepare all meats by cooking and slicing into bite-sized pieces.

Boil the eggs until hard, then cool and peel them.

Chop the vegetables: green beans, carrots, potatoes, and beets into small pieces.

Blanch the green beans and carrots in boiling water until tender, then cool in ice water.

In a large bowl, combine the meats, vegetables, and chopped lettuce.

Slice the hard-boiled eggs and add them to the salad mixture.

In a separate bowl, whisk together vinegar, olive oil, mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Garnish with sliced avocado, radishes, black olives, capers, parsley, and cilantro.

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Serve cold, offering additional dressing on the side.
