Method

3 Tbl extra-virgin olive oil
12 oz. green beans, trimmed and cut across in half
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
Method
- Combine the potatoes and enough lightly salted cold water to cover them by 2 to 3 inches and bring to a boil. Boil until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Scoop them out of water using a slotted spoon and place in colander (you will be reusing the cooking water).
- While potatoes cook, combine lemon juice and zest, garlic, salt, pepper and dill in a large bowl. Whisk in olive oil. Gently toss in cooked potatoes.
- Bring potato cooking water back to a boil and add green beans; cook until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Place onions in a colander; drain green beans and cooking water over onion. If they won’t be served right away, run cold water over vegetables to stop them from cooking. Combine with the potatoes and celery.
