Have those of you who are celebrating Independence Day finalized your cookout menus yet? I was going to make a potato salad this year, but since I'm banking a few calories now so I can spend extra in New York in a few weeks, I didn't want to go with a heavy mayo based version. Thankfully, Golden Blossom Honey saves the day with this Mediterranean Roasted Potato Salad with Green Beans. I still get my potato fix, but also the added health benefits of the other veggies that are tossed in.
Ingredients
Potatoes: 3 pounds red skinned potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
12 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch lengths
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1/2 cup fresh basil, silvered
1/4 cup feta cheese
Dressing;
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY HONEY MUSTARD

What's your favorite light summertime side dish?
I like it that the potatoes in it are roasted not boiled NOM
ReplyDeleteNice works, I'm guessing they're white, most of your photos have bluish tinge!
Potato salad in my country means boiled potatoes mixed with a bit of water, vinegar and onions.
I'm not an overly huge fan of boiled potatoes. I really like them roasted with a little olive oil and salt. I like a baked potato occasionally too. Jason's into using his smoker a lot, but he's been over-seasoning the potatoes, so I don't know if I like that method or not. That's what happens when you leave it to a non-cook to make your dinner though, I suppose.
DeleteI meant forks, not works :)
DeleteI usually make a salad for lunch with boiled potatoes grated and mixed with mayo and vegeta once a week as it can stand in the fridge till tomorrow. Sometimes I add some dill pickle in it, or beans or corn.
Looks good.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteThis is definitely a delicious twist on traditional potato salad. It looks so delicious and perfect for my 4th of July celebration.
ReplyDeleteIf you make it, let me know what you think of the recipe :)
DeleteThis looks like an amazing potato salad! I'd just have to leave out the olives. I am not a fan. But everything else, yes!
ReplyDeleteMy kids pick out the olives too. They don't mind plain black olives, but Kalamata olives they really dislike.
DeleteOH MY YES! This looks sensational! I would eat the entire dish - seriously #nosharing! ;)
ReplyDeleteI thought about not sharing too, but instead helped myself first and let the family fight over the rest lol
DeleteThis sounds like a great twist on potato salad. This would be great to take to our next family gathering.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a great dish for all of your summertime gatherings!
DeleteYes! I love that you put Feta in there. It is such a flavorful cheese. And you are right, a version sans mayo is just what the Dr. ordered in these temps!
ReplyDeleteI love that feta is one of those strong cheeses that you don't need a lot of. That way you can sprinkle on a little, get a lot of flavor, and save calories instead of piling on a less flavorful cheese.
DeleteWhat a delicious-looking summer salad! Perfect as a meal or a side.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI'd really enjoy making this to go along with some of our grilled dinners. I definitely like it as an alternative to mayo-based potato salad.
ReplyDeleteI think it would pair well with grilled salmon, or even a juicy steak!
Deleteim always on the hunt for a yummy salad esp to eat as a meal and this may just be it! YUM
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cait!

I love this unique twist on traditional potato salad! My family all loves Mediterranean flavors!
ReplyDeleteWe started the Mediterranean Diet earlier this year, and I am now a huge fan of the flavors as well!
DeleteThis does look great! I make a quinoa salad I like for a side. Everyone else seems to like it too. That's why I typically bring it.
ReplyDeleteI love quinoa! I haven't made too much with it lately, but I should start playing with some recipes since it's such a perfect, light food for summer.
DeleteThat salad looks so amazing. I love how colorful it is too. This is definitely something I need to make and try out. I bet it's so good.
ReplyDeleteI am a sucker for colorful salads!
DeleteHealth benefits of other veggies too, can't go wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly can't! :)
