Green Bean and Potato Salad with Fresh Lemon Juice

Wow, I really liked this Green Bean and Potato Salad folks, it's really different! No mayo or dairy, the dressing calls for oil, vinegar and lemon juice. A little puckery, a little lemony, it has a nice garlic undertone and waxy potatoes help make it creamy even without mayo. It's one of those salads that gets mixed hot and needs a couple hours of marinating time in the fridge. It can be garnished with mint or parsley if desired, I had some parsley. 

Recipe is easily scaled down, 

perfect for a couple stray potatoes and handful of beans from the planter.
