  1. Place clean potatoes in a large pot of water (covering potatoes by 1/2 inch). Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer (soft boil) for about 10 minutes. Add the green beans and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Drain water. Cut potatoes into quarters and put in a large mixing bowl with the green beans and red onions. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and olive oil. Pour about 3/4 of the dressing over the salad and fold into salad ingredients. Add more vinaigrette to suit your preference.

Notes
