Green Bean and Potato Salad

This Green Bean and Potato Salad combines fresh, simple flavors in an easy make-ahead dish that’s perfect for weeknight dinners or family barbecues.

 

Let’s be honest, sometimes you just need a side dish that looks like you tried harder than you did. This is one of those. It’s just potatoes, green beans and a quick little vinaigrette. No mayo, no fuss and it actually tastes better the longer it sits. 

What you need:

• 2 pounds multi color small potatoes, cubed
• 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced

Dressing:

• ½ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup white vinegar
• 2 Tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon pepper 

How to make it: 

1. Boil potatoes in a large pot until almost tender. Add green beans for the last few minutes. Drain well.
2. Transfer to a bowl with the sliced onion.
3. Whisk dressing ingredients and toss with vegetables.
4. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Pro tip: Don’t overcook the potatoes — you want them firm enough to hold their shape after tossing, not mushy. 

This is one of those sides that’s simple but always hits the spot. If you give it a try, I’d love to hear what you think—drop a comment and let me know how it turned out!
