The BEST Green Bean Potato Salad

This is one of those recipes that works year round, and is perfect for any season. It works for picnics (because it is mayo-free), holiday menus, and potlucks. 

This easy salad only requires a few simple ingredients, and is packed with so much flavor! Combining crispy roasted potatoes and green beans with a tangy dijon vinaigrette is always a hit! 

It can be served alone, as a side dish, or as a well-rounded meal with grilled chicken, fish, or any protein of your choice. 

Simple Dijon Vinaigrette

This simple and DELICIOUS vinaigrette is bursting with flavor and so easy to throw together. All you need to do is throw the ingredients in a jar and give it a shake! It is made by combining olive oil, dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. I love using the grainy kind of dijon mustard, but any kind works!
