Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 quarts water, salted
2 pounds baby new potatoes (about 25-30) assorted varieties and colors
1 pound thin French green beans, ends cut off
Olive oil spray
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 Tbs Dijon mustard
1 Tbs balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 Tbs fresh mint, chopped
3 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup pitted, herbed Kalamata olives (optional)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, bring salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until just soft, about 3-5 minutes. Drain into a colander and let dry on paper towels. While potatoes are boiling, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Cook green beans until just done but still crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Drain immediately and rinse in cold water to stop cooking. Set aside on a small plate. Light an outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan. Cut cooked potatoes in half or, if they are tiny, leave whole. Spray cut side with olive oil, and grill cut side down until grill marks appear. While potatoes are grilling, prepare the dressing. Mix garlic, meustard, vinegar, parsley, and mint in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. When potatoes are grilled and still hot, toss them in the olive oil mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add green beans and the olives and tomatoes if desired. Serve at room temperature.
