Potato Green Bean Salad

Potato green bean salad is a refreshing twist on the typical mayonnaise-based potato salads. Featuring fresh green beans, potatoes, and a mustard vinaigrette, this green bean potato salad is as perfect for a weeknight dinner as it is for a picnic or potluck.

Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 pounds new potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
  • 3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic
  • 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 3/4 tsp. freshly-ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup olive oil

Preparation:

  1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil, uncovered.

  2. Let boil 5 minutes, then add green beans. Cook another 5-10 minutes until potatoes are fork tender. (Test at 5 minutes by piercing a potato with a fork. If it is soft, but not falling apart, the potatoes are done.)

  3. Drain.

  4. In a serving bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil. Add potatoes and green beans. Toss well.

Serve warm.
