Green Beans And Potato Salad image

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings, appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds tiny new potatoes, scrubbed but not peeled
1 pound young green beans or haricots verts (French green beans), washed and trimmed
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cook potatoes in water to cover for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on their size, until they are tender but firm; drain, and cut in quarters or halves, again depending on size. Meanwhile, steam the green beans 5 to 7 minutes, depending on their thickness; drain, and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Cut in quarters or thirds, depending on size.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, lemon juice and mustard; stir in the thyme and onion. When potatoes are cooked, stir them into the dressing. If the salad is not to be served immediately, do not add the green beans: the acid of the dressing will turn them gray. Cover the beans well, cover the dressed potatoes and refrigerate separately.
  • To serve, let the vegetables return to room temperature. Stir the green beans into the potatoes and dressing, and season with salt and pepper.
