Description
Switch up the old mayo-based potato salad for this fresh and flavorful one that has a Dijon dressing and fresh green beans.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed
- 24 ounces small white potatoes
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Fill a medium-sized bowl with water and ice for the green beans after they’ve blanched.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and boil them for 1-2 minutes, scoop them out with a slotted spoon, and place them in the bowl with the water and ice to stop the cooking process. Once they’ve cooled drain them in a colander.
- Add the potatoes to the same pot of boiling water. Boil them for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork tender. Drain them and let them cool for a few minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooling, combine vinegar, mustard, garlic, and salt in a bowl. Whisking continuously, slowly add the olive oil until the dressing has thickened and is emulsified.
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them in half lengthwise. Toss them all in a large bowl with the green beans. Add the dressing and toss it all together until everything is well coated. Add the chopped chives and black pepper, toss again, and serve.
