Healthy & Delicious: Potato Salad With Green And White Beans Recipe

• 5 red potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
• 1 pound green beans
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1/3 teaspoon table salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 1/3 cup very thinly sliced red onions
• 1 15-ounce can white beans, rinsed and drained

1. Fill a large pot with water. Salt it and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half into 1/2-inch slices (half moons). When water is boiling, add potatoes. Cook about 10 minutes, until they're barely tender.
2. While potatoes are boiling, chop stem ends from green beans and cut each bean in half. Then, in a large serving bowl, combine oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Whisk together. Add basil and onions. Stir again.
3. After potatoes are cooked, remove them from boiling water using a slotted spoon or spider. Dump in bowl with vinaigrette. Add green beans to the hot water and cook about 4 or 5 minutes, until they're crisp-tender.
4. Drain green beans and add to bowl on top of potatoes. Pour in white beans. Mix everything thoroughly, but gently. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm (great), cold (pretty good), or at room temperature (very good). If there are leftovers, store 'em in the fridge and give 'em a good stir before re-serving.
