| New Potato Salad |
|
| |
20 minutes Serves: 6
This salad is best served warm, but it's also fine chilled. So you can make it in advance, and refrigerate, covered, until dinner. |
|
| |
|
1 |
|
pound small, new (red) potatoes, quartered or halved |
|
8 |
|
ounces (1/2 lb) small green beans, stemmed |
|
2 |
|
tsp freshly-ground black pepper |
|
2 |
|
green onions (scallions), trimmed and minced |
|
2 |
|
Tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil |
|
3 |
|
small, (ripe) tomatoes, cored |
|
2 |
|
Tbsp chopped fresh parsley or basil (or 2 tsp dried) |
|
1/4 |
|
cup red wine vinegar |
|
3 |
|
Tbsp chicken stock |
|
| 1. |
In a large saucepan of boiling water, took the potatoes until just-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cook the green beans in a separate pan of boiling water, until just crisp-tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. While they cook, mince the green onions (scallions) finely. |
| 2. |
Drain potatoes and beans and place them both in a large bowl. Add the pepper, minced green onion, and olive oil. Gently toss the vegetables (they absorb more scallion and olive-oil flavors if they are still hot). Set aside to cool . |
| 3. |
Just before serving, add tomato pieces, chopped herbs, vinegar, chicken stock. Again gently toss before serving. |
