The red potatoes are soft, creamy and provide color. The fresh herbs pack lots of flavor. The red onion is the perfect finishing touch and balance to the dish.
Whip up a quick and easy vinaigrette to toss with the warm potatoes, crisp beans, and crunchy red onion and you are complete. Just as delicious served warm as at room temperature, this salad is perfect for summer potlucks and picnics or an anynight dinner and it’s ready in under 30 minutes.
If you are taking this dish to a potluck or picnic, make it in the morning and let it chill for extra flavor marination.
