Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds baby red potatoes
• 0.75 pounds fresh green beans
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1.5 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and scrub the baby red potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized halves or quarters, ensuring they are evenly sized for uniform cooking.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

While the potatoes cook, trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces.

Step 4

Using the same pot, bring fresh water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes until they are crisp-tender. Drain and immediately transfer the beans to an ice bath to halt the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the Dijon vinaigrette by whisking together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm potatoes and blanched green beans. Drizzle the Dijon vinaigrette over the vegetables and gently toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad for added freshness and flavor.

Step 8

Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve warm or at room temperature.
