Directions

Prep 45 min

1
Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Generously salt the water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a colander to cool. If making ahead, refrigerate cooled potatoes for several hours.
2
Bring the water back to a boil, add green beans, and cook for 2 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Transfer beans to ice water, chill briefly, then drain and pat dry.
3
Slice potatoes 1/4-inch thick and cut beans into 1-inch pieces. Combine potatoes, green beans, onion, and dill in a large bowl and toss gently.
4
In a Mason jar, combine mustard, garlic, vinegar, and oil. Shake vigorously or whisk in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
5
Mix the vinaigrette into the potato and green bean mixture. Adjust seasoning with more salt or vinaigrette as desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour for best flavor.
