Dijon and Dill Potato Salad

Here is my deal with potato salad. I did not like them until I realized that I didn’t have to use a mayonnaise base for them. I grew up in the South but I literally hate the “traditional” potato salad. When my husband and I first started dating he would always get potato salad and I finally decided to try it again. I thought that maybe my taste buds had changed some but…NO! I don’t like.

I worked at Williams-Sonoma in high school and remember this lady making vinaigrette based potato salad for one of the cooking classes. I hesitantly gave it a try and loved it. Potatoes are already a heavy and filling vegetable so adding all the mayonnaise has never been appealing to me. However, a vinaigrette is extremely light and full of lots of flavor. The Dijon and fresh dill really complement the potato instead of overwhelming it. It is a perfect side dish for any meal and is also a great salad topping!

Enjoy!

Instructions

1. Cut the potatoes in to bite sized pieces and boil for about 15-20 or until soft. Add the green beans to the pot during the last five minutes of boiling.
2. Strain the potatoes and green beans in a colander and let cool for about 10 minutes.

Notes

• The potatoes absorb a lot of dressing. I would recommend adding more before serving.
