Ingredients

• 500 grams baby potatoes
• 300 grams green beans, trimmed
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 150 grams cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

In the same pot of boiling water, blanch the green beans for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and pat dry.

Step 3

While the vegetables cool, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Step 4

Cut the cooled baby potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Place them in a large mixing bowl along with the green beans and cherry tomatoes (if using).

Step 5

Drizzle the Dijon mustard vinaigrette over the vegetables and gently toss to combine, being careful not to break the potatoes.

Step 6

Sprinkle the salad with chopped parsley and chives for a fresh, herbal finish.

Step 7

Serve immediately at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy your Garden Potato and Green Bean Salad Du Jardin!
