Description
A delightful French-style salad featuring tender baby potatoes and crisp green beans, dressed in a tangy vinaigrette.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook for about 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
- In the same pot of boiling water, add the green beans and cook for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again after a few minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, green beans, red onion, and parsley.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider including crumbled feta cheese or toasted nuts for a crunchy texture.
- You can substitute the green beans with asparagus or snap peas for a different twist on this salad.
