Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 small or 1 large, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
1/2 pound green beans (trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces)
1 cup cooked chickpeas
1 cup cooked kidney beans
1/2 cup chopped red onion (about 1/2 small onion)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (granulated sugar would also work)

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper + more to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (either Italian or curly work)

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot halfway full with water and place over high heat. Add a few pinches of salt to the water if desired. Bring water to a boil. Carefully add the sweet potatoes and boil until almost fork-tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the green beans and cook for three more minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain and let cool slightly. Add to a large bowl along with the chickpeas, kidney beans, and onion. Stir gently to combine, trying not to break up the sweet potatoes.
  • To a small bowl, add the olive oil, vinegar, pure maple syrup, mustard, salt, pepper, and parsley. Whisk until combined. Pour over the potatoes and beans. Toss gently to coat veggies with dressing. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately for a warm potato salad (my preference) or chill until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Red Bliss, New, or Yukon Gold hold their shape well in potato salad, while Russet potatoes are best mashed or roasted.
  • Cook Potatoes Properly: For best texture, boil potatoes whole with skin on until tender, then immediately drain and chill to prevent overcooking.
  • Cool Potatoes Thoroughly: This prevents the potato salad from becoming watery and ensures even absorption of flavors.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh herbs, crispy celery, and crunchy radishes for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't Overdress the Salad: A light dressing allows the flavors of the potatoes and vegetables to shine through.

Conclusion:

With its creamy dressing, tender potatoes, and crisp vegetables, potato salad is a classic side dish that pairs perfectly with grilled meats, fish, or roasted chicken. Whether you prefer a simple three-ingredient version or one loaded with bacon, cheese, or hard-boiled eggs, there's a potato salad recipe to suit every taste.
