Italian potato salad, with green beans and red onion recipe
Description
The preparation begins by soaking sliced red onions in ice water to reduce their pungency. Large potatoes are boiled unpeeled in salted water until tender yet firm to avoid falling apart. After peeling and chunking, the potatoes are combined with drained, steamed green beans and the soft onions.
The dressing of extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and oregano is mixed in and the salad is allowed to rest in the refrigerator, which helps flavors meld. The contrast between potato softness and green bean crunch, alongside the vinegary brightness and herbiness, creates a refreshing yet hearty salad.
This salad is suitable as a side dish for grilled meats or as a light meal. Proper soaking of the onions and careful cooking of the potatoes maintain desired textures and balanced flavors.
