Springtime Potato Bean Salad

If you're tired of the same old potato salad, this one has all new kinds of flavors!
Course Salad, Side Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 4 egg yolks, at room temperature*
  • 1/3 cup red win vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup salad oil (plus 2 Tbsp)

Instructions
 

  • In food processor, combine egg yolks, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Cover and process until well mixed. With motor running, drizzle oil through the feed tube in a thin stream. Process just until all oil is added. Dressing should emulsify and thicken as oil is added.
  • Cook whole unpeeled potatoes in boiling water with cover with 1 teaspoon salt until fork- tender. Drain and let cool to room temperature. Trim ends from beans and cut in half crosswise. Cook beans in boiling water with remaining salt just until crisp tender, about 8 minutes.
  • In large bowl, combine cooled potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch slices, beans, walnuts, onions, parsley, dressing, and pepper to taste. Toss well. Arrange lettuce leaves on serving platter; top with salad. Serve at room temperature. Makes 6 servings. Enjoy!
  • *Note: If you are concerned about eating raw eggs, you can buy pasteurized eggs at some grocery stores, but they are a little more difficult to find.
