Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 200 grams Green beans
- 250 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
1. Wash the baby potatoes and place them in a pot. Cover them with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
2. While the potatoes cook, trim the ends off the green beans. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch them for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process, then drain and pat dry.
3. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and set aside. Thinly slice the red onion and soak it in cold water for 5 minutes to mellow its flavor, then drain and pat dry.
4. For the vinaigrette, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
5. Cut the cooked potatoes into bite-sized pieces. In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, green beans, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
6. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
8. Serve the salad at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy!
