Potato Salad with Green Beans and Herb Vinaigrette
Potato salad with green beans and herb vinaigrette is a delicious and refreshing dish that combines the earthy flavors of potatoes and green beans with the zesty kick of a herb-infused vinaigrette. This salad is perfect for picnics, barbecues, or as a side dish for any meal and best of all no Mayonaise or Eggs, so it can sit outside a bit longer. After visiting the Burnsville farmers Market and finding all the delicious veggies and hernbs I knew I had to incorporate them into one tasty dish.
Here is the simple recipe we made on my show “Taste Buds” to get you started:
