Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Green beans
- 500 grams New potatoes
- 200 grams Thick-cut bacon
- 2 whole Shallots
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare the vegetables: Trim the ends of the green beans and cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Finely mince the shallots and chop the parsley.
2. Cook the potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato pieces and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until tender but not falling apart. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
3. Cook the green beans: Using the same pot of boiling water, add the green beans and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Drain and plunge the beans into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
4. Cook the bacon: In a large skillet, cook the thick-cut bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the pieces from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces.
5. Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
6. Assemble the salad: In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, green beans, bacon, and minced shallots. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and toss gently until everything is coated.
7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for a fresh finish. Serve the salad warm or at room temperature.
