Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut in half 3 large Maine or red potatoes (or 5 smaller ones)
1 large onion, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup diced parsley
1/2 pound lardon (smoked pork, Canadian-style bacon or regular bacon that has not been presliced)
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
3 large Maine or red potatoes (or 5 smaller ones)

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes (with skins on) in lightly salted water until cooked through but still firm. Remove, peel and set aside. Boil green beans in salted water until just cooked but still firm. Drain well and place in warm serving bowl. Slice potatoes to about 1/4-inch thickness and place in bowl. Keep warm.
  • Cut lardon into small squares and cook in skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Sprinkle lardon over salad, reserving 1/3 cup of cooking fat (there probably won't be more than that in pan). Pour fat over salad.
  • Place skillet back on burner and pour in vinegar (you can cut down on vinegar according to preference). Bring vinegar to boil while scraping bottom of pan, then pour over salad. Sprinkle onion and parsley over salad, season with salt and pepper, and toss well. Serve immediately.

Belgian Name = Salade Liegoise While browsing recipes for Zaar World Tour II, I've been amazed to find that what I consider everyday Texas fare is actually considered international food. This is yet another example of a dish I've eaten for years without knowing of it's Belgian origin.

Categories     Potato Salads

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb small new potatoes
1 lb green beans, fresh, cleaned and broke into 2 in pieces
8 oz bacon, cut into small pieces
1 onion, diced
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the potatoes in pan covered with water until just fork tender.
  • 2. Steam green beans until firm yet cooked.
  • 3. Heat olive oil in pan over medium heat. Add the onions and bacon. Continue cooking over medium heat until everything is cooked well, yet the onions retain their shape.
  • 4. Slice the cooked potatoes into nice sized pieces and put in a bowl. Add the drained green beans (string beans) and the bacon.
  • 5. Add the red wine vinegar to the pan and put on low heat for approximately 1 minute so the vinegar cleans the pan and mixes in with all the remaining grease and flavor. Use a spatula to scrape the vinegar mixture on top of your salad bowl. Add the fruit vinegar. Add a splash of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. More vinegar or olive oil can be added for personal preference.
  • 6. Mix and Serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
  • Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the greens from wilting.
  • Be creative with your toppings. You can add anything from crumbled bacon to chopped nuts to grilled chicken.

Conclusion:

The Liège-style salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give this salad a try.
