I've made this excellent salad several times, always to rave reviews. I follow the recipe as it is written and it turns out great every time. I've served this at home, work and to guests and have gotten so many recipe requests that I now just make copies ahead of time to place next to the dish! LOL I do have some vegan in-laws so have also made it with veggie broth and it tastes the same. A previous reviewer gave this a lower rating, but she used CANNED green beans which to me sounds awful. Please don't cut that corner!! This is a nice summery twist to a traditional dish with the added benefit of being much healthier for you! Try it!!!
Roasted Potato Salad with Mint Vinaigrette
Initially covering the potato mixture as it cooks with a small amount of broth steams the vegetables so they'll cook through with-out burning. Once the pan is uncovered, the broth quickly evaporates, and the veg-etables brown and caramelize.
