Ingredients:

8 red potatoes, scrubbed and sliced

1/2 lb. of fresh green beans, stemmed and sliced

1/4 cup sliced scallions OR 1/4 cup cup garlic scapes

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper

3 Tbsp. Fresh Tarragon chopped (or 3 tsp. dried)

3 Tbsp. Fresh Dill chopped (3 tsp. dried)

3 Tbsp. Fresh Chives chopped

3 Tbsp. White Vinegar

2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

3 Tbsp. chicken broth

2 Tbsp. Spicy Brown Mustard

Boil potatoes 6-8 minutes.

Add the green beans and cook another 3 minutes. If you're using scapes add these to the boiling water at the same time as the green beans to soften them up a bit.
While the vegetables are cooking mix vinegar, EVOO, Chicken Broth, Spicy Brown Mustard, Salt & Pepper together to make the dressing. Set aside.

Drain potatoes, rinse in cold water and drain again. Add your chopped herbs.

Pour on the dressing and stir gently.

My pictures do not do this salad justice. The flavors of the dressing and fresh garden herbs are out of this world. I particularly like that there is no mayo in this potato salad. It's wonderful at summer dinners, barbecues and picnics and the flavor just gets better as it sits over night.

Enjoy!
