Insalata di PatateGreen beans and potato salad has been a summer time staple my whole life. My Mom made this salad a lot, during our back yard barbecues. I like a light coat of dressing because you are able to enjoy the flavors of these fresh organic vegetables.
Green Bean and Potato Salad
1 pound fresh green beans
1 1/2 pounds red potatoes
1 red onion, sliced
extra virgin olive oil
balsamic vinegar or
red wine vinegar

Place whole potatoes in a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes, drain, cool and cut in quarters. Trim and snap green beans, steam and cool. Combine potatoes and beans in a large bowl add onions, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Add oil, vinegar, salt and pepper to your desire.

My mom has made this for as long as I can remember. It is truly THE best. And you are right, a light coat on the dressing...mmmmm! Yours looks gorgeous!

Hey Chuck, can we get married...again. You know I love your food, but on occasions I have to let it go due to the fact I am a vegetarian. So when I saw this one I was jumping for joy.
ReplyDeleteI just finished it for lunch. I mean come on, starch, and veggie all in one dish, what's not to love.
I am going to blog about this today and I already posted about your risotto. Wow!
