POTATO/ROOT SALAD WITH LIMA BEANS
This recipe was very broadly adapted from the Kingsolver book, Animal Vegetable Miracle. I wanted to create a potato salad without mayonnaise for a picnic, so that any leftovers would keep well enough for future lunches. For potatoes I recommend Yukon Golds, and I recommend that the lima (butter) beans be fresh. Celeriac is also known as celery root. Depending on what is available, turnips would work as well as celeriac. (For the photo, the beans are a mix of lima and cranberry beans.)

Steps:
- Peel the celeriac and the sweet potato and the shallots. Unless you prefer, leave skins on the regular potatoes (removing eyes and other blemishes, of course).
- Cut the root vegetables into approximately one inch chunks (cut the celeriac smaller as it otherwise takes longer to cook than the others). Slice the shallots to about ¼ inch. Chop up the garlic and mix with the root vegetables in a roasting pan.
- Add enough olive oil to coat the vegetables, and add in all the seasonings except the fresh basil. Mix by hand, and spread out as possible in your pan.
- Bake in 450 F preheated oven for 20-30 minutes. If you couldn't spread the vegetables out, toss them after 20 minutes, and return to oven for 8-12 more minutes. Remove from oven.
- Transfer to a bowl, and with a fork, lightly break up the vegetables, but do not mash them.
- Boil the lima beans for approximately 30 minutes (you can do this while the rest of the food is roasting), drain, and add to the bowl after breaking up the root vegetables.
- Chop the basil and finely dice the celery, and mix inches
- For the dressing: mix the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar together in a suitable vessel which can be shaken prior to use by those wishing some.
- Refrigerate/chill before serving.
- (Optional: Pan-fry 5 slices of bacon, drain and allow to cool. Crumble and serve on the side as an option. You can also add it directly to the serving bowl, but since I am not always aware of guests' dietary restrictions or preferences, I would prefer to leave this as an optional condiment for the salad.).
STRING BEAN AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:
- Put the potatoes and the garlic in a pot of well-salted water, to cover, and bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Cook until they are "fork" tender, about 20 minutes. When the potatoes are tender all the way through, remove them from the water and when they are cool enough to handle, but still hot, carefully cut the potatoes in half. Try not to pull the skins off. Chop the garlic and add it along with 2 tablespoons each vinegar and olive oil, and season with salt, to taste. It is important to do this while the potatoes are still warm so they will absorb the vinegar and oil and be seasoned all the way through.
- While the potatoes are cooking, bring another pot of well-salted water to a boil, over medium heat. Set up a bowl of ice water and season it generously with salt. Add the beans to the boiling water and cook them until they are tender, about 5 to 6 minutes. Bite a bean to be sure they are properly cooked. When the beans are cooked, put them immediately in the bowl of salted ice water to stop the cooking or to "shock" them. When they are cold, remove them from the water and let them dry a little. Cut them in half.
- In a large bowl, toss together the potatoes, beans, olives, oregano and scallions and crushed red pepper. Stir to combine well, taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Add the remaining oil and vinegar, if needed.
- This salad is good now, but will be better if you let it sit for at least 1 hour. Enough time to transport it to the game!

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes. Waxy potatoes, like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, like Russet potatoes, making them ideal for potato salads.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still firm. You don't want them to be mushy.
- Let the potatoes cool completely before adding them to the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add color, flavor, and texture.
- Don't overdress the salad. You want the flavors of the vegetables to shine through.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Potato salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be made ahead of time and chilled for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Potato root salad with lima beans is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a potato salad that everyone will love.
