Mediterranean Potato Salad 



INGREDIENTS: 
2 cups green beans (1/2 pound) 
5 cups red potatoes (10 medium), cubed 
1 (2-1/4 ounce) can black olives, sliced 
1/3 cup capers, drained 
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped 
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped 
2 to 3 teaspoons freshly-ground pepper 
1 teaspoon salt 
2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice or balsamic vinegar 
1/4 cup olive oil


TO PREPARE: 
Clean beans, snap off ends and break into 1-inch pieces. In a saucepan over high heat, blanch beans for 5 minutes, until bright green. Drain, rinse under cold water and set aside. 
In a large stockpot over high heat, boil potatoes in lightly salted water for 10 to 15 minutes until tender (do not peel). Cool and cut into cubes. 
In a large bowl, combine beans, potatoes, olives, capers, parsley, dill, pepper, salt, lemon juice and olive oil and toss. Chill for at least 2 hours. Remove from refrigerator 1/2 hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
