Bite-size pieces of potato combined with green beans, semi-dried tomatoes and a tangy balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing.

2 lbs (1kg) potatoes—peeled and cut into bite-size pieces

20 green beans—ends trimmed and left whole

½ cup semi-dried tomatoes

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

½ clove garlic—minced (crushed)

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

STEAM or boil the potatoes until tender (around 8-10 minutes), adding the green beans for the last 5 minutes of cooking. PLACE the oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper in a jar with a screw top lid and shake until well combined. ALLOW the potatoes and green beans to cool, then drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine well.
