Background

This zingy warm potato salad with peas & green beans is a perfect accompaniment to barbecued or grilled food. I'd even serve it with a Sunday roast in the summer. Add some fried pancetta, goats cheese or smoked fish and you've got an easy and fulfilling meal!

Ingredients

450g new potatoes
200g green peas
200 green beans
3 Tbsp olive oil
5 spring onions
1 red chilli
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 tsp honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

Rub the potatoes well, then cook them in lightly salted water until tender. Drain and cool, then cut them into bite-size chunks.
EITHER: During the boiling put a steaming basket above the potatoes and steam the peas and green beans for 5 minutes.
OR: blanch the vegetables for 2-3 minutes in the cooking water of the potatoes then drain.
Toss the vegetables in a large serving bowl.
In the meantime, remove the seeds and veins of the chilli. Chop finely the flesh. Slice the onion thinly and diagonally.
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a frying pan and cook the spring onion and chilli for 1-2 minutes until soft.
Remove from the heat, add the remaining oil, vinegar, honey mustard, mix well. Pour over the vegetables. Season with salt & pepper.
Serve it warm.
