Grilled Potato Salad



Want to try something a little different? Try making this salad with a mixture of red, white, purple, and/or sweet potatoes.

20 small baby potatoes; red or white; cooked
1c green beans; blanched
4t olive oil
3t rice wine vinegar
1 clove garlic; grated
2t whole grain mustard
1t sugar
1/2c sweet red bell pepper; finely diced
1/2c celery; finely diced

- lightly spray the cooked potatoes with olive oil or cooking spray and grill them on high until lightly browned on all sides.
- combine the oil, vinegar, garlic, mustard, sugar, celery, and red bell pepper in a bowl
- add the green beans and grilled potatoes
- serve hot or at room temperature

Helpful Hints

What is the best way to grate your garlic? Use a microplane! Microplanes can be used for zesting citrus or grating cheese, chocolate or garlic. The microplane is one of my favorite kitchen gadgets. If you don’t have one, I highly recommend picking one up at your local kitchen store. You may even be able to find them at your nearest hardware store (ask for a rasp).
