Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces haricot vert, trimmed
12 fingerling potatoes
1 tablespoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon clover honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup extra-virgin Greek olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Canola oil, for grilling
8 ounces feta, crumbled
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
2 tablespoons lightly chopped fresh oregano
Fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the haricot vert until al dente, about 90 seconds. Shock in ice water, drain well, chop in halves or thirds and reserve.
  • Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with 2 inches cold water and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil and cook until a small knife inserted into the center of the potato meets with some resistance, about 5 minutes. Drain well, place on a baking sheet and let cool slightly. Halve lengthwise.
  • Whisk the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey and salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
  • Heat the grill to medium heat. Toss the potatoes with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown in spots, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove and toss with some of the vinaigrette.
  • Combine the potatoes, green beans, feta cheese, olives and oregano in a bowl. Toss with more of the vinaigrette, taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Scatter the parsley leaves over the top and drizzle with a bit more olive oil.

GREEN BEANS AND POTATO SALAD

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings, appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds tiny new potatoes, scrubbed but not peeled
1 pound young green beans or haricots verts (French green beans), washed and trimmed
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cook potatoes in water to cover for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on their size, until they are tender but firm; drain, and cut in quarters or halves, again depending on size. Meanwhile, steam the green beans 5 to 7 minutes, depending on their thickness; drain, and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Cut in quarters or thirds, depending on size.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, lemon juice and mustard; stir in the thyme and onion. When potatoes are cooked, stir them into the dressing. If the salad is not to be served immediately, do not add the green beans: the acid of the dressing will turn them gray. Cover the beans well, cover the dressed potatoes and refrigerate separately.
  • To serve, let the vegetables return to room temperature. Stir the green beans into the potatoes and dressing, and season with salt and pepper.

½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Tips:

  • Choose small red potatoes: These hold their shape well when cooked and add a lovely creamy texture to the salad.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will fall apart and make the salad mushy.
  • Use a variety of green beans: This adds color and flavor to the salad. Try using both fresh and frozen green beans.
  • Blanch the green beans before adding them to the salad: This helps to preserve their color and crispness.
  • Use a light dressing: A heavy dressing will weigh down the salad and make it less refreshing.
  • Season the salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This is a great salad to make ahead of time and serve chilled.

Conclusion:

Green beans and potato salad is a classic summer dish that is always a hit at potlucks and picnics. It is a simple salad to make, but it is packed with flavor. The creamy potatoes, crisp green beans, and tangy dressing all come together to create a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion.
