Marinated Potato and Green Bean Salad

Theresa P's Note:

This is a warm marinated salad that I make often. It is so good! I often make a meal of just this salad by itself, and some good bread. I hope you will give it a try, you won't be disappointed It is colorful as well as tasty and travels well too because of no mayo. It is best served warm or room temperature.

What a great side dish for dinner! I made it last night and didn't change a thing - it is delightful with just alittle tang to the taste. I made the dressing ahead of time and let it sit, then mixed it with the potatoes and beans and kept them warm in the oven to meld the flavors for about 30 minutes.This will be a favor with us.

We love this! I've tried many green bean-and-potato salads over the years, but they never turned out very good. This is perfect. Have made it 3 times now, once as our entire dinner. Last night was for company, served with bbq chicken -- everyone loved it. I made it about noon and let it sit on the counter (covered) all day. Gave the wonderful marinade time to really infuse the beans & potatoes. Just a note: there is quite a bit of dressing. You could probably cut at least 1/4 of the amounts and still be fine. Thanks for a great recipe!

This dish looks great on the table and tastes even better. A nice tangy flavor and the lack of mayonnaise makes it a much healthier option than standard potato salads. Made it 2hrs b4 dinner then when dinnertime came only had to cook chicken on grill as salad served as my starch and veggie for the night! Made the clean-up time so much easier! Thanks so much!
