RED POTATO SALAD WITH GREEN BEANS (0048)

Total Time：35m

4-6 servings

Ingredients：

1 1/2 pounds red potatoes

1/4 pound green string beans, stems removed

2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots

1 1/2 tablespoons whole-grain or Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons chopped scallions, optional

Directions：

Place the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until a knife can be easily inserted into the center of the potatoes, 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool. When cool enough to handle, cut into bite-sized cubes.

Bring a small pot of water to a boil and add the string beans. Cook until crisp tender, 1-2 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool the beans under running cool water. Cut into 2-inch pieces.

In a medium bowl, whisk the shallots, mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper and oil together. Add the potatoes, beans and scallions, if using, and gently toss together.

Tip: To keep the string beans crisp, rinse them in cold water or soak them in ice water right after cooking. This will refresh them and stop the cooking process.
