What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • For the salad:
  • 5 medium-sized red potatoes (approximately 1.5 lbs)
  • 8 ounces green beans
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
  • 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 3 tablespoons chopped dill
  • For the dressing:
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon sumac
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
Directions
  1. Boil the potatoes in water until fork tender – approximately 13-15 minutes. Remove them from the water and allow to cool.
  2. Boil the green beans for five minutes and place in an ice bath to stop the cooking.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the dressing ingredients and whisk together.
  4. When the potatoes have cooled, cut into one-inch pieces and place in a serving bowl. Drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of the dressing on the potatoes and stir.
  5. When the green beans have cooled, remove from the ice bath and cut into one-inch pieces.
  6. Chop the dill, parsley and olives. Add the green beans, olives, dill and parsley to the potatoes.
  7. Pour the remaining dressing and season with salt and pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are coated with the dressing.
