It’s a super satisfying side perfect for your next gathering or an easy weekend lunch when you include the optional eggs! Bonus? Just 9 ingredients required. Let us show you how! This French-inspired green bean potato salad begins with cooking baby red potatoes in salted water to infuse them with flavor. Once the potatoes are almost tender, fresh green beans join in for the last 2-3 minutes. Both then go into an ice bath, which keeps the green beans bright green and crisp. Then it’s on to the zippy, mustard vinaigrette made by combining olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. The remaining ingredients include chopped kalamata olives for saltiness and fresh parsley (or dill) for an herby element. Drizzle with dressing and it’s ready to enjoy! It gets even better with time, as the dressing soaks into the potatoes and green beans. We hope you LOVE this green bean potato salad! It’s:FreshBrightSavoryHerbySatisfying& SO gorgeous! It’s the perfect side for picnics, Easter celebrations, or to bring on spring! Or when served with the optional jammy eggs, it makes a satisfying, standalone meal. It would also pair well with our Easy Pizza Burgers, Crispy Skin Salmon, or Easy Baked Cod with Spring Vegetables.
