Weeknight Green Bean
Potato Salad
I love potato salad and make it
many ways for barbecues in the summer, and for the longest time that is where
it stayed. In the summer, at friends and
families houses in mass quantity, recently I decided that potato salad needed
to come back into my life, but that meant not making a monstrous bowl, because
let’s face it, temptation! I’m also a
stickler for a green vegetable being part of most lunches or dinners so I
needed to incorporate one to my new potato salad. Here is one of my simple weeknight sides that
I have grown to love with a simple chicken pillard or on the side of a
sandwich.
Ingredients
½ bag Steamables Yukon gold potatoes, or six small Yukon Gold potatoes
scrubbed and boiled till tender
1 small red onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1/3 lb. haricot verts, or green beans (if you are using green beans cut
them in half length, steamed until tender and cooled
1 tbsp. whole grain mustard
1 tsp. red wine vinegar
2 tbsp. plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 small fist full of flat leaf Italian parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Steam potatoes based on bag directions, divide them in half, cool and
cut the potatoes into cubes.
If are using haricot verts, cut the green beans in half width wise, if
you are using green beans cut the green beans in half, length wise (the reason behind this is that green beans
are less tender but are more cost effective, so depending on your budget or
time constraints decide which is easier for you) and steam or boil them
until tender. I like my green vegetables on the more firm side so this is entirely up
to how you like your vegetables cooked.
Add the Greek yogurt, whole grain mustard, red wine vinegar and olive
oil to a bowl and mix together, add salt and pepper to taste.
Add the green beans, potatoes, celery and red onion to the bowl of
dressing and toss until coated, finish with chopped parsley.
This potato salad can easily be
doubled, or tripled for a barbecue or get together! I use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for this
dressing but you can also use sour cream,
