Equipment

  • large pot
  • colander
  • whisk
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g yellow fleshed potatoes preferably small to medium sized
  • 400 g green beans trimmed

For the dressing

  • 100 ml olive oil
  • 2 Tbs white wine vinegar
  • 1-2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 small shallot finely minced
  • 2-3 scallions finely minced
  • a handful fresh green herbs such as parsley, basil, mint, or marjoram, finely minced
  • Salt
  • pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place the potatoes unpeeled in a large pot, add enough water to cover them well. Bring the water to a boil. Cooking until the potatoes are tender but not mushy, usually about 20 minutes for medium potatoes.
  • Remove the cooked potatoes from the water with a skimmer and place in a colander to cool.
  • Now add the green beans to the same pot along with a good pinch of salt. Boil them until they are crisp-tender, which can take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes depending on the bean. Remove them to another colander and rinse them with cold water to cool them quickly. Let them drain.
  • While the vegetables are cooling/draining, whisk the oil and vinegar together in a small bowl until they have fully emulsified. Stir in the minced garlic, shallot or scallion, along with the minced herbs and a good pinch of salt and a grind of pepper. Taste and adjust for seasoning, then set aside until needed.
  • As soon as the potatoes are cool enough to handle but still warm, peel them with a paring knife, then cut them into bite sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the green beans. Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables then toss well, until they are well covered with the vinaigrette.
  • Give the salad a final taste and adjust for seasoning if need be.
  • Let the salad rest for at least 30 minutes before serving.
