Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds red potatoes
3/4 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped
1 small red onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions

1 Place potatoes in a large pot and fill with about 1 inch of water; bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes; add green beans to steam after the first 10 minutes. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
2 Cut potatoes into quarters and transfer to a large bowl. Add green beans, onion, basil, salt, and pepper; toss until combined. Set aside.
3 Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl until well combined. Pour over salad and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
