Potatoes and Salad Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes halved or quartered into ¾-1" pieces
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb green beans trimmed, any variety
  • 0.5 small red onion thinly sliced into half moons, about ¼ cup
  • 0.33 cup Kalamata olives pitted and halved
  • 0.33 cup Feta cheese crumbled
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Salad Dressing Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium lemon juiced, about 2 Tbsp
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chives thinly sliced, plus more for serving
  • 1 small clove garlic finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat an oven to 450°F / 230°C. Bring a large pot of water (at least 2-3 quarts) to a rapid boil. Submerge the string beans into the boiling water. Cook for exactly 3 minutes, then transfer to a prepared ice bath. Cool for 5 minutes before draining.
  • Return the large pot of water to a rapid boil. Add 1 tablespoon Kosher salt and ½ teaspoon baking soda. Carefully add the potatoes, then cook for 10-12 minutes. Drain, then return the potatoes to the warm pot, seal with a lid, then hold in place with pot holders and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoon olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet, then pour the potatoes on top. Use your hands or a spatula to spread into a single even layer. Cook for 40 minutes, flipping the potatoes once halfway through cook time.
  • While the potatoes cook, make the dressing. Combine ½ cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped oregano, 1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives, 1 clove chopped garlic, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a mason jar. Seal tightly, then shake until well mixed.
  • When ready, place blanched green beans on a large platter. Top with crispy potatoes, ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion, ⅓ cup halved Kalamata olives, and ⅓ cup feta cheese. Drizzle the dressing on top, then serve immediately with additional chives, if desired.

Notes

Blanch green beans up to 3 days ahead. Potatoes are best fresh, but can be prepped 1 day ahead and recrisped in the oven. Dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance.
