Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes cut in half if larger
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ pounds yellow beans trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 1 cup red bell pepper diced
  • ½ cup sliced green onions white and green parts

Dressing

Instructions

  • Boil the potatoes in salted water until they’re just fork tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Cook the yellow beans in a pot of salted water until tender, 3-4 minutes, then drain.
  • Add the warm potatoes, warm beans, chopped celery, red bell pepper, and green onion to a large bowl and toss to combine.
  • Make the dressing by combining the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, cider vinegar, and honey in a jar with a tightly fitting lid. Shake to combine.
  • Add the dressing to the vegetables and toss to combine. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and serve warm.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • For an even healthier version, substitute Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise in the dressing.
  • Serve the salad warm or chilled. 
  • Experiment with different types of mustard to find your preferred flavor balance.
  • If yellow beans aren't available, you can use green beans.
