Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to create bite-sized pieces.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
In the same pot, bring water to a boil again and blanch the green beans for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the warm potatoes and green beans together with the dressing, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Add the chopped shallot and parsley to the bowl and toss gently to combine.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the salad warm or at room temperature for the best flavor. Enjoy!
