Ingredients

2 pounds purple and/or white fingerling potatoes, scrubbed
1 pound green beans, trimmed
1/4 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs such as chives and garlic chives (with blossoms if desired) and thyme, parsley, mint and summer savory leaves
Mustard shallot vinaigrette (recipe follows)

Directions

In a large kettle simmer potatoes in salted water to cover until tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes, and drain in a large colander.

In a large saucepan cook beans in 3 inches salted boiling water over high heat until crisp-tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. With tongs or a slotted spoon transfer beans to colander with potatoes and drain well.

In a large bowl toss together warm potatoes, beans, herbs, dressing and salt and pepper to taste. Salad may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.

Serve salad warm or at room temperature.

MUSTARD SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots or scallions
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

In a bowl whisk together all the ingredients except the oil. Slowly add the oil in a stream.

Nice!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Good flavor and super easy. The vinaigrette was wonderful. The dish was a huge hit at my 4th of July picnic and great to... make ahead. Read more

I made this for a family get together. The dressing on this salad was awsome. I will make it again.

Even better with capers!

I have been making this recipes for many years since it first appeared in Gourmet. My recipe, and perhaps the original, call... s for a tablespoon or so of drained capers, which elevates this from good to great!Read more

OK, not super special

Not bad, I may make it again as it was tasty but it wasn't super special.

Yummy and Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Tasty recipe! I cut the oil by 1/4 cup (and probably could have cut a bit more), cut the potatoes in half/thirds instead of... leaving them whole, and used parsely, tarragon, and chives. I also used spicy brown mustard (could've sworn I had Dijon in the fridge!) and it turned out just fine. Go easy on adding salt, but a good shake of pepper is needed.Read more

I used small boilers because I counldn't find fingerling potatoes. I will make again this weekend.
