Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 300 grams green beans, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 150 grams cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In the same pot of boiling water, blanch the 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. Drain again and pat dry.
While the vegetables cool, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Cut the cooled baby potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Place them in a large mixing bowl along with the green beans and cherry tomatoes (if using).
Drizzle the Dijon mustard vinaigrette over the vegetables and gently toss to combine, being careful not to break the potatoes.
Sprinkle the salad with chopped parsley and chives for a fresh, herbal finish.
Serve immediately at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy your Garden Potato and Green Bean Salad Du Jardin!
