This hearty salad is typical from the Liege region in Belgium. It can be made with canned beans and pre-cooked bacon strips but the fresh version is way healthier and tastier. Can be served cold as well.

Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped into 1 1/2 inch pieces
1 pound thick cut bacon
3 small onions, sliced
2 cups balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in to a pot and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside. Fry onions in the bacon drippings until tender and browned. Remove them and set aside. Pour balsamic vinegar into the skillet and stir to release all of the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb small new potatoes
1 lb green beans, fresh, cleaned and broke into 2 in pieces
8 oz bacon, cut into small pieces
1 onion, diced
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the potatoes in pan covered with water until just fork tender.
  • 2. Steam green beans until firm yet cooked.
  • 3. Heat olive oil in pan over medium heat. Add the onions and bacon. Continue cooking over medium heat until everything is cooked well, yet the onions retain their shape.
  • 4. Slice the cooked potatoes into nice sized pieces and put in a bowl. Add the drained green beans (string beans) and the bacon.
  • 5. Add the red wine vinegar to the pan and put on low heat for approximately 1 minute so the vinegar cleans the pan and mixes in with all the remaining grease and flavor. Use a spatula to scrape the vinegar mixture on top of your salad bowl. Add the fruit vinegar. Add a splash of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. More vinegar or olive oil can be added for personal preference.
  • 6. Mix and Serve.
