Who's still recovering from the 4th of July holiday? This girl, right here. From Friday through Tuesday, we were booked to the max with social gatherings. Thankfully, I didn't have to host anything myself (especially since I just hosted a huge 50th wedding anniversary party and am putting the final touches on Mariah's grad party that's coming up), but that didn't mean I could be a crummy guest and show up to the other parties empty handed. I did a quick search on Golden Blossom Honey to see if I could find something simple, but delicious, that I could double or triple without a problem so I didn't have to spend all day in the kitchen cooking up dishes to take to multiple events. I came across this Fresh Green Bean & Potato Salad recipe that was exactly what I needed. Since we were traveling out of the city for a few gatherings, I didn't have to worry about keeping the dish warm. Just pop it into a cooler and away we went. And, since this dish isn't made with the traditional mayo base that standard potato salads are made with, it made for a light, summery dish that didn't weigh the tummy down so everyone could eat, then enjoy the outdoor games.
Fresh green bean potato salad is a great potluck offering, or BBQ side dish. There's a beautiful blend of flavors in this dish, you'll want to make it all summer long.
Ingredients
Dressing: 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 shallot, chopped
2 tablespoons Golden Blossom Honey Mustard

1/4 cup olive oil

What's your favorite summertime side dish?
Sadly, green beans do weigh my tummy terribly, so I don't eat them, but I do love the yellow ones. And I do love me spring potatoes! I love to cook them, grate them with some cheese, season them with vegeta and mix mayo in them, put it in the fridge and that is a very quick sidedish the next day, and it can be spooned with the ice cream spoon to get little balls which you can sprinkle with some sesame or chives
ReplyDeleteYep, I can see how these would be the perfect dish to bring a long. I like that they seem so easy to make!
ReplyDeleteSure won't end up a crummy guest that way. Potatoes and I never got along since mom tried to force me to eat them and the dog wouldn't eat them for me either lol
ReplyDeleteGreen beans and potatoes are a favorite pairing of mine. This sounds really tasty for summer potlucks.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in trying the dressing and I like having a few ways to incorporate green beans into recipes. They're some of my favorite veggies!

ReplyDeleteThere are so many delicious stuff we can make with Golden Blossom Honey Mustard. I like how you included it in the ingredient list for your salad dressing. I can't wait to make some myself.
ReplyDeleteI think my wife would rebel if I didn't make her Green Bean casserole. XD
ReplyDeleteI've never tried combining this green beans and potatoes in a dish like this before. I imagine it's a good combo and I love that you chose to add honey mustard to it as well. I'm sure it's very tasty!
