Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs baby red potatoes
• 0.75 lbs green beans, trimmed
• 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 tsp Old Bay seasoning
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby red potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1 to 1.5 inches in size.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the green beans by trimming the ends. Cut the beans into 2-inch pieces if desired.

Step 4

Bring a separate pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch them for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Allow them to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Add the blanched green beans and thinly sliced red onion to the mixing bowl with the potatoes.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the salad as a garnish.

Step 10

Serve the salad warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy!
