Found this in Rachael Ray's June/July 2007 magazine. Good for summer, and no-mayo, so good for picnics.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs tiny new potatoes
3 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
10 ounces green beans, trimmed and halved crosswise
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 scallions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped (plus more sprigs for garnish)
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, place potatoes, 2 teaspoons salt, and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Add green beans and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and let stand.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, mustard, pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk in olive oil unti combined.
3. Toss the potatoes and beans with the dressing to coat. Using a fork, mash several potatoes. Toss in the scallions and thyme. Season with more salt and pepper to taste and top with thyme sprigs.
4. Serve either warm or at room temperature.
