📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cook the Potatoes and Green Beans
2
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, generously salted water.
3
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
4
While waiting for the water to boil, prepare an ice bath and set it aside.
5
Once the water reaches a boil, add the green beans and cook for 2–⏱️ 3 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
6
Use a wide spider strainer to remove the beans—taking care not to disturb the potatoes—and immediately transfer them to the ice bath.
7
Let cool completely, then drain and pat dry.
8
Continue cooking the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 10–⏱️ 15 minutes depending on their size.
9
Drain the potatoes and let them steam in the colander for 5–⏱️ 10 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
10
Make the Dressing
11
While the potatoes are steaming, whisk together the garlic, vinegar, and olive oil in a large bowl.
12
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
13
Add the sliced red onions to the dressing and let them marinate for about ⏱️ 5 minutes.
14
Assemble the Salad
15
While the potatoes are still warm, add them to the bowl along with the blanched green beans.
16
Toss gently until everything is well coated in the dressing.
17
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
18
Add ¾ of the chopped basil and toss again to distribute.
19
Serve
20
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or platter.
21
Garnish with the remaining basil and serve at room temperature.
