Ingredients

  • 2 pounds red potatoes (about 6 medium), cubed
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
  • 1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, optional
  • DRESSING:
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. Place potatoes in a 6-qt. stockpot; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, 10-15 minutes or until tender, adding green beans during the last 4 minutes of cooking. Drain.
  2. Transfer potatoes and green beans to a large bowl; add onion and, if desired, mint. In a small bowl, whisk dressing ingredients until blended. Pour over potato mixture; toss gently to coat. Refrigerate, covered, at least 2 hours before serving.
