Step 1: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 2: Wash the baby new potatoes and slice them in half. Toss them in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 3: Place the seasoned potatoes onto the preheated grill. Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4: While potatoes are grilling, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the French 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, then drain again and set aside.
Step 5: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, whole-grain mustard, honey, minced garlic, and water. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix in the chopped fresh mint leaves.
Step 6: In a large bowl, combine the grilled potatoes, blanched green beans, and the dressing. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Step 7: Serve the salad warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional fresh mint leaves if desired.
