A Warm Potato Salad

Maybe 30 years ago we had a girl, Pascaline, from Belgium live with us. We had to bring a dish for a pot luck party and she suggested a salad dish of rice, green beans, onions, oil and vinegar. Then her mom, Therese, came another time and made one of our now standby favorites: potatoes, green beans cooked together with a little butter.

We had some left over BBQ’d small potatoes, green beans and other ingredients. It was a warm evening so I’d decided on a potato salad.

Here is the salad:

Small cooked potatoes, chopped into bite-size pieces, just warm.

Green Beans cut up and cooked

A little onion chopped fine

Olive oil to taste.

A spoonful of mustard to taste.

I’m not crazy about vinegar so I don’t use it but you can to make the vinaigrette.

Mix the oil and mustard together, I find a whisk works well.

Add to the potatoes, green beans and onion in a bowl and toss until the potatoes and beans are coated.

We had this along with a green salad for dinner. Very filling!
