Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby potatoes (red or yellow)
• 300 grams Green beans
• 1 small Red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces.

Step 4

Bring another pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the green beans for 3-4 minutes, or until tender-crisp and bright green. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process, then drain and pat dry.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, blanched green beans, and thinly sliced red onion.

Step 7

Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top for a burst of freshness.

Step 9

Serve the salad warm, at room temperature, or chilled, depending on your preference. Enjoy!
