Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds (900g) small potatoes, halved
- 1 pound (450g) fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup (120ml) mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup (60ml) sour cream
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) white wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25g) black pepper
- 1/4 cup (15g) fresh dill, chopped
- 1/4 cup (25g) red onion, finely chopped
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool.
- While potatoes cook, bring another pot of water to boil. Add green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine cooled potatoes, green beans, dill, and red onion.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
- Potato Choice: Use waxy potatoes like new, red bliss, or Yukon Golds for best results as they hold their shape.
- Cooling: Ensure potatoes and green beans are completely cool before dressing to prevent a watery or greasy salad.
- Chill Time: Chilling for at least an hour (or longer) allows the flavors to deepen and meld beautifully.
