Description

A delightful combination of fresh green beans and hearty potatoes with a rich, creamy dressing, perfect for picnics and barbecues.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb green beans
  • 2 cups potatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • Fresh herbs (e.g., dill or parsley), to taste


Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes in salted water until tender, then drain and cool.
  2. Blanch the green beans in boiling water for a couple of minutes, then transfer to ice water to stop the cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add the cooled potatoes and green beans to the bowl.
  5. Chop the red onion and add it to the mixture along with the fresh herbs.
  6. Toss everything together until well combined.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For the best texture, use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes. Customize the dressing to your taste, and feel free to add crispy bacon or cheese for variations.
