WARM GREEN BEAN, BACON & POTATO SALAD



Warm Green Bean, Bacon & Potato Salad image

This makes a great side, either warm or at room temperature, for steaks and chicken. This dish is much beloved and called for in my catering jobs.

Provided by Motley Oklahoman

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb small red potato
coarse salt and pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 lb green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, cover potatoes with 2 inches salted water. Bring to a simmer and cook until potatoes are just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain thoroughly. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high; add potatoes and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, mashing potatoes slightly, until golden brown in spots, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and keep warm.
  • Add bacon to skillet. Cook until bacon is browned, about 3 minutes. Add green beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green and crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add to potatoes along with lemon juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper and toss gently to combine.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when bent. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Blanch the green beans: Blanching helps to preserve the beans' color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of potatoes: This recipe calls for a combination of Yukon Gold and red potatoes. You can use any type of potato you like, but waxy potatoes hold their shape better than starchy potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be cooked until they are easily pierced with a fork. Avoid overcooking the potatoes, as they will become mushy.
  • Make the bacon vinaigrette: The bacon vinaigrette is a key component of this salad. To make the vinaigrette, cook some bacon until crispy. Then, whisk together the bacon fat, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  • Assemble the salad: Once the beans, potatoes, and bacon vinaigrette are prepared, you can assemble the salad. Combine the beans, potatoes, bacon, red onion, and parsley in a large bowl. Drizzle the bacon vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat.

Conclusion:

This green bean and potato salad with bacon vinaigrette is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of fresh green beans, tender potatoes, crispy bacon, and tangy vinaigrette is sure to please everyone at your table.
