Blue Cheese and Bacon Potato Salad image

This is a scrumptious combination of a favorite Southern restaurant's green bean side dish and potato salad. It's fabulous and your family will thank you. You can serve it right away, but it does well for a few hours in the fridge. Eat cold or at room temperature.

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 cups iced water, or as needed

¼ cup white wine vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
