This recipe provides a refreshing, vinegar-based potato and green bean salad, perfect as a make-ahead side dish for potlucks or summer meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs small red potatoes, quartered
  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 3 large eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool slightly.
  2. While the potatoes cook, steam or boil the green beans until they are crisp-tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Immediately transfer the beans to an ice bath to stop the cooking process, then drain well.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper to create the vinaigrette dressing.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the warm potatoes, cooled green beans, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and sliced red onion.
  5. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients. Gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
  6. Stir in the fresh dill. Let the salad rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving, or chill for later.

Notes

  • For a heartier version, you can add 4 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon when tossing the salad.
  • You can prepare the potatoes and green beans a day ahead. Store them separately in the refrigerator and dress the salad just before serving.
  • This vinegar based potato green bean salad tastes best when allowed to marinate in the dressing for an hour.
