For this salad I chose fresh dill, parsley, and chives. They make the perfect addition to the easy lemon vinaigrette dressing, which coats everything in bright deliciousness.

How to make potato and green bean salad

Making this salad is straightforward. Cook the little potatoes, green beans (I steamed them in the handy microwave-safe bag for 2 minutes), and eggs (I did an 8 minute boil), then let everything cool and toss it with the dressing.

You can make the dressing while everything is cooking, and you’re well on your way to having this flavorful side on your table in no time.

I used little potatoes in assorted colors, but you could also use new potatoes or any kind of potato really, as long as they total about 1.5 pounds.

I like this potato and green bean salad with eggs best when it’s first made, but I did eat the leftovers for the next two days and still enjoyed it. 🙂

Hope you love this recipe!

    The recipe is in my regular rotation of dishes that I make fairly often. Love the combination, and absolutely love the dressing.

  2. I made this last night with farm fresh green beans. So delicious and a perfect packed lunch for work this week. Thanks for the recipe inspiration!

  3. Love this potato salad Natasha. Summer is all about pasta and potato salads for our BBQ’s, and I’m always looking to change up my recipes. I love the dressing for this one. Great combo of herbs and nice and light!

    1. Thank you! Yeah, I figured having a few lighter options was a good idea. There’s always so much food at these events. 💛
