Ingredients

• 500 g Baby potatoes
• 300 g Fresh green beans, trimmed
• 200 g Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp Honey
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Step 2

Add the baby potatoes to the pot and cook for 12-15 minutes or until they are fork-tender.

Step 3

Using a slotted spoon, remove the potatoes and set them aside to cool slightly. Leave the cooking water in the pot.

Step 4

Cut the cooled potatoes into bite-sized halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 5

In the same pot of water, blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes, or until they are bright green but still crisp.

Step 6

Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. After 2 minutes, drain and pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.

Step 8

In a large serving bowl, combine the potatoes, green beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.

Step 9

Pour the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 10

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
