Time 35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound bacon
3 pounds new red potatoes, quartered
1 pound fresh green beans, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 (16 fl oz) bottle reduced-fat balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing (such as Newman's Own®)
3 roasted red peppers, diced
1 red onion, diced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels; chop and set aside.
  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 8 minutes. Add green beans to the water. Bring the water again to a boil and cook until the green beans are slightly tender, about 2 minutes; drain. Cool potatoes and green beans slightly before transferring to a serving bowl.
  • Mix balsamic vinaigrette, chopped bacon, red pepper, red onion, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; pour over the potatoes and green beans.

I'm allergic to green beans, so I substituted chopped carrots instead. It was still really good!

This salad is too mayonnaise-y for my taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad turned out bland. Maybe I didn't use enough salt or pepper?

I'm not a fan of mayonnaise-based salads, but this one is an exception. The dressing is light and tangy, and the green beans and potatoes add a nice crunch.

I didn't have any green beans, so I used chopped celery instead. It was still really good.

This is a great make-ahead salad. I like to make it the night before a picnic or party so the flavors have time to meld.

I'm not usually a fan of potato salad, but this one changed my mind. The green beans add a nice crunch and the dressing is light and flavorful.

This was a great way to use up some leftover green beans and potatoes. I added a bit of chopped bacon for extra flavor.

I've been making this salad for years, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The dill pickle relish adds a nice tangy flavor.
