Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons Champagne vinegar or white-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup olive oil
3 lb small (1 1/2- to 2-inch) yellow-fleshed potatoes such as Yukon Gold, scrubbed well
3/4 cup diced (1/4-inch) red onion
3/4 lb haricots verts or other thin green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
3 celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Whisk together vinegar, mustard, pepper, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
  • Quarter potatoes, then cover with cold water by 1 inch in a 4- to 5-quart pot and bring to a boil with remaining teaspoon salt. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, then transfer hot potatoes to a large bowl and toss with onion and all but 1/4 cup vinaigrette. Cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
  • While potatoes cool, cook green beans in a 3-quart saucepan of boiling salted water, uncovered, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes, then drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Let stand 2 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
  • Just before serving, toss potato mixture with green beans, celery, parsley, and remaining 1/4 cup vinaigrette.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender haricots verts. Look for beans that are bright green and have no blemishes. Avoid beans that are limp or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Trim the haricots verts. Snap off the tough ends of the beans. You can also string the beans if desired, but this is not necessary.
  • Steam the haricots verts and potatoes until they are tender-crisp. This will take about 5-7 minutes for the haricots verts and 10-12 minutes for the potatoes.
  • Season the haricots verts and potatoes with butter, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, herbs, or lemon zest.
  • Serve the haricots verts and potatoes immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh.
