Grilled Baby New Potato Salad With French Green Beans And Mint Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the haricot vert until al dente, about 90 seconds. Shock in ice water, drain well, chop in halves or thirds and reserve.
• Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with 2 inches cold water and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil and cook until a small knife inserted into the center of the potato meets with some resistance, about 5 minutes. Drain well, place on a baking sheet and let cool slightly. Halve lengthwise.
• Whisk the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey and salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
• Heat the grill to medium heat. Toss the potatoes with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown in spots, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove and toss with some of the vinaigrette.
• Combine the potatoes, green beans, feta cheese, olives and oregano in a bowl. Toss with more of the vinaigrette, taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Scatter the parsley leaves over the top and drizzle with a bit more olive oil.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot; add water to cover by 2 inches. Cover the pot and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are cooked through, about 30 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, bring another large saucepan of water to a boil; salt generously. Blanch the green beans until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and then shock in an ice water bath to stop cooking.
• When cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes into 1 1/2-inch chunks and place in a large serving bowl. Add the green beans, red onions and tomatoes and toss together. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil and dried basil. Pour about three-quarters of the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. (The potatoes should break up a bit and coat the salad.) Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature, garnished with torn basil.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes, bay leaf and thyme branch. Cook at a brisk simmer until the potatoes are firm but easily pierced with a skewer, about 30 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
• While the potatoes are cooking, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, anchovy, capers, mustard and vinegar. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Whisk again before using if the dressing separates.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skins with a paring knife and carefully cut into pieces 1/4-inch thick, or slightly thicker. Put the slices in a low bowl, season lightly with salt and pepper and add half the vinaigrette. Using your hands, gently coat the potatoes with the vinaigrette, taking care not to break them. Cover and set aside at room temperature.
• Top and tail the beans. Simmer in salted water until firm-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes, then cool under running water and pat dry.
• To cook the eggs, bring a medium pot of water to a rapid boil. Add the eggs and cook for 8 minutes for a somewhat soft-centered yolk or 9 minutes for a firmer yolk. Cool the eggs immediately in ice water, then crack and peel. Cut each egg in half and season lightly with salt and pepper.
• When ready to serve, season the beans with salt and pepper, then dress with the remaining vinaigrette. (Reserve 2 tablespoons vinaigrette for the arugula, if using.)
• Combine the dressed beans and potatoes, using hands to toss, and pile onto a platter. Sprinkle with chives, parsley and basil and arrange the eggs over the top. Garnish with anchovy fillets, if desired. Dress the arugula and send it to the table separately.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil, and cook the green beans 10 minutes, or until tender but crisp; drain.
• Transfer green beans to a medium bowl, and mix with garlic, onion, and mint.
• In a small container with a lid, mix olive oil, cider vinegar, garlic, basil, mustard, salt, and pepper. Shake until well blended. Toss into the green bean mixture.

Steps:

• Whisk together the chives, tarragon, olive oil, vinegar, mustard,salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce.
• Add in the Brie, if using.
• Pour over greens and toss until coated.

Steps:

• In large saucepan bring salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until just soft, about 3-5 minutes. Drain in colander and let dry on paper towels.
• While potatoes are boiling bring a small pot of water to a boil. Cook beans until just done but still crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Drain immediately and rinse in cold water. Set aside.
• Light an outdoor grill or a stovetop grill pan. Cut cooked potatoes in half or, if tiny, leave whole. Spray cut side with olive oil and grill cut side down until marks appear.
• Meanwhile, prepare dressing by mixing garlic, mustard, vinegar, parsley and mint in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil. When potatoes are grilled but still hot, toss in dressing and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add green beans and olives and tomatoes, if desired, and mix well. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Cook 2 pounds quartered Yukon Gold potatoes in salted boiling water until tender, adding 1/2 pound halved green beans in the last 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Whisk 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons grainy mustard, 1/4 cup chopped mixed herbs, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Toss with the vegetables along with 2 chopped celery stalks and 1/2 sliced red onion.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large saucepan with 1 tablespoons salt and enough water to cover generously. Bring to a boil and cook about 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender but still firm in the center. Drain potatoes, allow to cool a bit, then cut them in half and place in a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, cook green beans in lightly salted boiling water for 5 minutes, until just tender. Drain, add beans to the warm potatoes, then add herbs, garlic, capers, and lemon zest. Combine oil and lemon juice and pour over the potato-bean mixture; toss to mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let stand for a few hours at room temperature so that the herbs will have time to flavor the vegetables. Garnish with edible flowers if you like.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 15 mins or until tender. When the potatoes have 5 mins cooking time left, tip the beans into the boiling water. Drain and cool under cold running water.
• Meanwhile, finely slice the shallots or onion. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with the vinegar and oil then leave for 5 mins. Toss potatoes and beans in with the shallots and sprinkle with the mint.

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in salted water for 8 mins until just tender, then drain and keep warm (they will absorb the dressing better than cold potatoes). Meanwhile, steam the beans in a steamer over the potatoes for 4 mins. Keep a close eye on them as you want them to be just tender rather than soft. Cool the beans under the cold tap to keep their colour.
• Mix the dressing ingredients in a bowl. Add the warm potatoes and beans, and toss really well to coat in the dressing. (Warm potatoes absorb the dressing better than cold ones.)

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into 1/2 (leaving skins on) and place in a medium saucepan.
• Add water to cover.
• Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until tender.
• Drain and cool completely.
• Cut potatoes crosswise into quarters.
• Combine potato, chopped green onions, and celery in a large bowl; toss gently.
• Combine mayonnaise and next 9 ingredients; stir well.
• Add to potato mixture, tossing gently to coat.
• Cover and chill several hours. *Salad is best chilled for several hours so flavors can meld.
