steamed not stirred

Course: Main Course, Side Dish

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs red potatoes
  • 2 tbsp finely minced onions
  • 1 tbsp sherry vinegar
  • .5 lemon freshly squeezed
  • .5 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1.5 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • .3 cups EVOO
  • 3 tbsp fat free plain yogurt
  • Ground pepper
  • .5 lbs green beans (wash and cut off ends)
  • Baby spinach

Hollyized Steps:

  • Place one inch of water into a pot and cover with a steamer. Then heat on high until water boils. While you wait, wash the potatoes and slice into fourths. Then place into the steamer and cover for 12 minutes.
  • Prepare the dressing while the potatoes are steaming. In a small mixing bowl, combine the vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, EVOO and yogurt. Then whisk all ingredients together. (My lemon reamer is my favorite tool to use, aside from my mixer, so it’s highlighted with a close-up!)
  • Once the potatoes are done, remove from the steamer and add into a large mixing bowl. Add the green beans into the steamer for about five minutes.
  • Add .25 cup of dressing to the mixing bowl with potatoes along with pepper and the 2 tablespoons of onions. (As you can see, I was quite the Chatty Cathy and added two halves of a minced onion… at least it prevents cancer!)
  • Add the green beans to the large bowl with potatoes and continue to mix until the green beans are also coated with the dressing.
  • Serve on top of a bed of baby spinach… a non-rabbit dinner is served! It’s actually pretty with all the different colors.
