Instructions
for the dressing
- Whisk all the ingredients together vigorously until they emulsify into a thick dressing. Taste to adjust any of the elements to your liking.
for the salad
- Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with 2 inches of cold water. Add a tablespoon of salt to the water. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and boil genty until the potatoes are tender. To check them, insert the tip of a sharp knife into a potato ~ it should glide in easily. Add the green beans to the pot and cook for another minute or two.
- Drain the potatoes and beans. While they are hot, slice the potatoes in half lengthwise. If your potatoes are large you can slice them into smaller pieces.
- Put the potatoes and beans into a large bowl and toss gently with some of the dressing while everything is still hot. The potatoes will absorb the dressing and its flavors this way.
- When the potatoes have cooled, toss with the herbs and onions. Add more dressing at this time if needed. Chill the salad before serving with a grinding of fresh black pepper.
