Description

This French café summer salad recipe combines boiled potatoes, cabbage, bell peppers, and corn in a tangy Dijon vinaigrette. It's fresh and flavorful.

Ingredients

14 medium red potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cups shredded red cabbage
1 large red onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 cucumber, diced
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can white kidney or cannelini beans, rinsed and drained
1 (11 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Place potatoes into a large pot with enough lightly salted water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until tender yet still firm, about 20 minutes. Drain, cool, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
2 Whisk olive oil, Dijon mustard, and garlic together in a large salad bowl until well combined. Add cooled potatoes, cabbage, red onion, bell peppers, cucumber, kidney beans, and corn; mix with your hands until vegetables are well coated. Gently stir in Romano cheese; season with salt and black pepper.
3 Chill salad in the refrigerator before serving, about 1 hour.
