This potato and green bean salad recipe is a gorgeous twist on a classic summer favorite. Baby red potatoes are in season right now and you’ll find fresh beans at their best this time of year. The mustard, sautéed shallots and garlic add a lot of flavor to the salad and the pecans are a great source of protein and unsaturated fats – perfect for summer snacking. I love this salad so much, I’ve made it three times in the past month. It is seriously yummy, filling and is just as great eaten alone as it is served with grilled steak, chicken or fish. Another great thing about this salad is that you can make the dressing one day ahead, cover and chill, then simply re-whisk it when you are ready to serve. My top tip for this recipe would be to slightly under cook the beans to keep their flavor and crispness. Use quality sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and your salad will be just perfect.

Thanks for the delicious recipe! Made this for a big family gathering, by the time I got to it……OMG! Gone, just all gone. I am making it again for my church choir potluck, will definitely set some aside. It’s a keeper!

Thank you for sharing your recipe, Lia! I am so looking forward to making it for my family. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful resources for the ingredients here in the Portland area. I wonder if it would turn out as well if I substitute hazelnuts for the walnuts or pecans?

Warm Regards, Lisa in Lake Oswego

  Yes, I do feel so fortunate to be living in Portland. Such an amazing city and great food scene and local purveyors. I think pecans or walnuts would taste delicious in this recipe.

The potato green bean salad looks so good, and I like addition of pecans rather than bacon, of which we eat entirely too much.
