Steps:
- Combine oil, shallot, garlic and herbs in a small nonreactive pan and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and cool. Strain and discard the solids. Set aside.
- In a food processor, combine the vinegar and mustard. With the motor running, very slowly pour in the oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Place the balsamic vinegar in a small stainless-steel pan. Simmer slowly until very syrupy and reduced to 1/3 cup. Set aside.
- Parboil the haricots verts in a large pot of salted water until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain, refresh in ice water and dry. Toss beans with the prosciutto and pine nuts and then add enough dressing to coat the ingredients. Transfer to a platter, top with the cheese and drizzle the reduced vinegar over all.

- Salt the potatoes lightly and steam them for about 15 minutes, or till tender. Let them cool.
- Wash and trim the beans and steam them for 5-7 minutes, till tender crisp. Let them cool.
- If you have slender, thin skinned cucumbers, wash them, trim the ends and slice the 1/8 inch thick. If you can only find the thicker skinned cucumbers, you will need to peel them, halve them lengthwise and scrape out the seeds before slicing.

- whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, sugar, dijon mustard and a dash of pepper.
- pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss together gently but thoroughly.
- try not to break up the potatoes.
- allow the salad to rest in the refrigerator for an hour or so, then taste, and correct seasonings with more salt, pepper, lemon juice, etc, as needed.
