  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, split
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Boil the small white potatoes in salted water over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes until tender. Drain and cool slightly before halving or quartering.
  2. In the same pot, add the trimmed green beans to boiling water and cook for 4–5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and plunge into ice water.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and half of the kosher salt. Gradually drizzle in olive oil while whisking until combined.
  4. In a large bowl, combine boiled potatoes, green beans, chives, black pepper, and remaining kosher salt. Pour dressing over the salad and mix gently.
  5. Chill for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
