French Style Potato and Green Bean Salad

I already told you about this meal in a heartfelt post last week, but I only posted the fish portion of the meal. Today we are talking about the French Style Potato Salad with Green Beans that you got a sneak peek at previously.

This recipe is so simple yet so perfectly delicious. That’s the way with French cooking is it not? I love it for this, aside from the fact that I really love basically anything with potatoes in it.

In case you need some evidence for that previous statement here are some other potato recipes that I absolutely love.

While this salad is really perfect for fresh green beans in the summer I made it because honestly I wanted it, and there were green beans in the grocery store.

French Style Potato and Green Bean Salad

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound fresh green beans ends trimmed
• 1 ½ lb small white potatoes cut into 2 inch pieces
• 3 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove of garlic crushed
• 1 teaspoon salt divided
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped Parsley

Instructions

1. Blanch the green beans: bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until they are just tender about 3 to 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the beans and transfer them to an ice bath. 

2. In the same pot add the potatoes, and simmer until they are firm but easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.

3. Meanwhile, prepare the vinaigrette: in a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, Dijon, garlic, salt, olive oil, and pepper. 

4. In a large bowl toss the potatoes, green beans and vinaigrette together until well coated. Top with parsley and serve.
