Marinated Green Bean and Potato Salad

  • ¾ pound green beans, trimmed

  • ½ pound wax beans, trimmed

  • ½ pound fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise

  • ¼ cup white wine vinegar, divided

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

  • 2 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled

  • Cook beans in boiling water 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and plunge beans into ice water; drain.

  • Place potatoes in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 5-10 minutes or until tender; drain. Return potatoes to pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons vinegar to pan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat.

  • Combine remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar, oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and pepper in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Drizzle beans with vinegar mixture; toss well to coat. Place beans on a serving platter; arrange potatoes over beans. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, parsley, and bacon. Serve at room temperature.

notes:

I didn't have any wax beans, so just substituted additional green beans. Any potatoes work too, just be sure to peel them if they have tough skins.
