Ingredients

• 1 lb | 450g potatoes new
• 5,29 oz | 150g green beans tips trimmed off
• 2 eggs hard-boiled, peeled
• pinch of salt
• 3,5 oz | 100g bacon diced
• 2 tbsp scallions (1) sliced, green parts only

For the Vinaigrette

• 3 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
• 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp dill (optional but recommended)
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

• Wash and scrub the potatoes, leaving the skin on. Cut them, transfer to a large pan with boiling water, adding the eggs, green beans and a pinch of salt. Cook the eggs and green beans for 10 minutes and remove. Cook the potatoes for 5 to 10 minutes more or until tender. Drain and set aside.
• While the vegetables are cooking, combine all the vinaigrette ingredients and whisk until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed and set aside.
• Add the diced bacon to a large non-stick pan and sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes or until crispy.
• Add the potatoes and green beans to the pan and gently mix to absorb the flavours of the bacon. Transfer the warm mixture to a salad bowl, season with the vinaigrette and top with scallions.
• Transfer the salad to two large serving plates or bowls, garnish with the hard-boiled eggs and serve immediately while still warm.
