About

In Southern Italy, potato salad is often enriched with the addition of green beans, creating a colourful dish that combines the flavours and textures of these two popular ingredients. This version is particularly delicious during the summer months when new potatoes and green beans are in season and at their peak of freshness.

Method

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and bay leaf and cook for 10–15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the green beans to the pan with the potatoes. Drain the potatoes and green beans (they should be just tender), then rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.
