Green Bean and Potato Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette

This Green Bean and Potato Salad is going to be the star of our Memorial Day cookout! I love everything about this potato salad. I especially love that this doesn’t have any mayonnaise in it!! Potatoes and green beans tossed in a yummy vinaigrette and fresh basil. This Green Bean and Potato Salad can be served warm or cold. We ate it both ways and it was great both times.

You can make this a day or two in advance and keep it refrigerated until you are ready to serve. I think it gets better as it sits in the fridge. It only takes about 15 minutes to make and it tasted delicious! This would be great at a potluck or your upcoming Memorial Day cookout!
