Ingredients

  • FOR THE VINAIGRETTE, WHISK:
  • 1 ⁄2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 ⁄4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 ⁄4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp. minced shallots
  • 2 tsp. minced fresh garlic
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • FOR THE SALAD, COVER:
  • 3 lb. red or yellow new potatoes, cut into 1-inch wedges
  • 1 lb. haricots verts or green beans, trimmed, halved crosswise
  • COOK:
  • 6 strips bacon, diced
  • 1 ⁄2 cup chopped scallions

Preparation

Step 1

For the vinaigrette, whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper and set aside.

For the salad, cover potatoes with cold salted water in a pot. Bring water to a boil and cook potatoes until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Pour ¾ cup vinaigrette over warm potatoes; let cool 20–30 minutes.

Boil haricots verts in same pot of water until tender, 3–4 minutes; drain. Transfer haricots verts to a large bowl and toss with ¼ cup vinaigrette; set aside to cool, 20–30 minutes.

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

Gently stir potatoes, scallions, tarragon, and remaining ¼ cup vinaigrette into haricots verts. Season salad with salt and pepper and top with bacon.
