Serve this green bean potato salad cold or at room temperature. The balsamic-dijon dressing adds a tasty layer of flavor that gets better the longer it melds together!
Green Bean Potato Salad
What a fun action packed week! We wrapped up my son’s birthday celebrations, and then I packed my bag and headed to Iowa for the Pass the Pork Blogger Tour with nine other food bloggers! We toured the family-owned Brenneman Pork farm, learned about the pork industry, spent a day taking cooking lessons, enjoyed an evening at a local winery, and laughed non-stop!
Oh, I even sleeved a sow and brought a piggy into this world! The whole experience was unreal! I’ll share photos as soon as I get caught up with the posts that I neglected while having so much fun!
Potato and bean salad with balsamic dressing
After eating out and enjoying so many delicious meals in Iowa I came home craving this Green Bean and Potato Salad. I made this for Sam’s birthday cookout with the family just last week, but it’s so good and packed with fresh ingredients it made another appearance on our table!
The balsamic-dijon dressing coats the vegetables adding a delicious flavor without taking away the natural flavors from these veggies. The longer the dressing has time to meld the more flavor it adds to the dish. You’ll love having leftovers!
What to serve with this potato and green bean salad

Thank you for the great salad recipe that can be served cold or warm. I definitely having it warm as the temperature in Brisbane is getting cold everyday 😀

This is the perfect savory summer potato salad – Loving the fresh Balsamic-Dijon Dressing!

I agree that you need to unplug every so often, but now I’m playing catch up! It has been worth it though 🙂

This salad sounds delicious, and I am loving that dressing! 🙂 And I saw all the photos online from the pork farm trip! It looked like so much fun. I have to say though that I am not sure I could ever sleeve a pig, lol. 😉 It took all my courage just to try to milk a cow when I was in Ohio a few weeks ago.
Sandra Shaffer
The dressing really compliments the beans and potatoes in this dish! Yeah, I don’t know what came over me. I’m usually squeamish, but I got brave at just the right time and thought this is it, I’ll never get this opportunity again. It was an amazing experience!

I love EVERYTHING about this salad! YUM!! How fun you got to visit the pork farm. Those piggies are just too cute, I’d have a hard time eating bacon after that trip!
Sandra Shaffer
LOL – Before going on the trip I thought maybe I would contemplate becoming a vegetarian after visiting a pork farm, but NOPE, bring on the bacon! haha
Christie
What a pretty salad. Sounds perfect for dinner.
Sandra Shaffer
Thank you, Christie! This salad is a nice compliment to just about any main dish!

I make a similar dish served at room temperature but I can’t wait to try your version as it is dressed differently and sounds great.

I would love to know what you think! We sure have been enjoying it 🙂
