This potato and green bean salad is a combo of two of my favorite things — tender baby potatoes and crisp green beans tossed in a zesty Dijon vinaigrette. It’s bright, satisfying, and finished with a sprinkle of creamy feta for that perfect salty bite.

Instructions
Place baby yellow or red potatoes, cut in half, in a large saucepan or Dutch oven and cover with water by about 1 inch. Add kosher salt to the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until the potatoes are almost tender.
1 pound baby yellow or red potatoes
Add trimmed green beans, cut into 3-inch pieces, to the pot with the potatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the green beans are bright green and just tender.
½ pound green beans
Drain the potatoes and green beans and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, honey, and chopped fresh chives. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Pour about half of the vinaigrette over the warm potatoes and green beans. Toss gently with a large spoon to coat. Store the remaining vinaigrette in the fridge for up to a few weeks.
Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese, and finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
