Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium red potatoes
- 300 grams green beans
- 1 small red onion
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Scrub the red potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks, keeping the skin on for added texture and color.
Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and set them aside to cool slightly.
In the same water, blanch the green beans. Trim the ends and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to retain their color and crunch. Drain again and set aside.
Thinly slice the red onion and chop the fresh parsley. Toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large serving dish or bowl, layer the ingredients: start with the cooled potatoes as the base, then add the green beans, red onions, and parsley. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the top.
Gently toss the salad to combine, ensuring the dressing coats all the ingredients. Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top as the final layer for added crunch and flavor.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold or at room temperature as a side dish or light main course.
