Place the baby potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until tender. Drain and allow them to cool slightly before cutting them into halves.
While the potatoes are cooking, trim the ends of the green beans. Bring another pot of water to a boil, blanch the green beans for 2-3 minutes until bright green, then transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.
Thinly slice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes. Grate or thinly slice the Gruyere cheese.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Whisk until emulsified. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, green beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and olives. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Top the salad with grated or sliced Gruyere cheese and garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
Serve the salad slightly warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Potato Tomato and Red Onion Nicoise with Gruyere as a main course or alongside crusty bread.
