Potato and Green Bean Salad with Sesame Dressing

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Potatoes
• 1 lb Green Beans
• 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds

Instructions

1. 1Place the 1.5 lbs Potatoes in a large heavy-bottomed pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and let them cool until they are safe to handle. Once cool, peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
2. 2Place the 1 lb Green Beans in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water, or add them directly to a pot of boiling water. Steam or boil for 4-6 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp and bright green. Drain the green beans immediately and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.
3. 3While the potatoes and green beans are cooking or cooling, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tablespoons Sesame Oil, 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce, 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar, and 1 teaspoon Sugar. Finely mince the 2 cloves Garlic and add them to the dressing mixture. Whisk everything together until well combined.
4. 4In a large bowl, combine the 1-inch cubes of cooled Potatoes and the tender-crisp Green Beans.
5. 5Pour the prepared sesame dressing over the potato and green bean mixture in the large bowl. Toss gently to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
6. 6Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds over the salad. Serve the Potato and Green Bean Salad warm or cold.
