Ingredients

    • 1 lb small white potatoes
    • 1 lb small red potatoes
    • 1/4 cup white wine
    • 1/2 lb French green beans
    • 3 Tbsp champagne vinegar
    • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper
    • 6 Tbsp olive oil
    • 1/4 cup capers
    • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
    • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
    • 2 Tbsp pitted Kalamata olives
    • 2 Tbsp chopped parsley
    • 2 Tbsp chopped basil
    • 2 Tbsp chopped thyme

Preparation

    • In a large pot of boiling water add white and red potatoes and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, or until fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and cut into quarters. Place in a large bowl. Toss gently with the wine and set aside.
    • Bring another pot of water to a boil. Boil the green beans for 3 to 5 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and immerse in ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
    • In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, mustard and black pepper. Add the olive oil and whisk to combine. Add the vinaigrette to the potatoes.
    • Add the green beans, capers, tomatoes, onion, olives and fresh herbs to the potatoes. Season with additional black pepper to taste. Toss.
    • Serve cold or at room temperature.
