  1. 1

    Place whole, cleaned potatoes in a saucepan of cold water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 35–45 minutes or until a knife can easily go through potatoes. Steam green beans until tender, then cool in an ice bath. When potatoes are cooked, cut into 1" chunks. Mix mustard, herbs, lemon zest, vinegar and shallot, and oil together to make dressing. Season to taste and gently toss potatoes, green beans, and dressing together.
