Ingredients

• 1 pound of refrigerated “butyrated” potatoes – I used about 15 small new potatoes.

1. Slice refrigerated potatoes in half or quarters (depending on size)
2. Trim green bean ends and cut green beans in half.
3. Snap off tough ends of asparagus and then slice asparagus into an equal size as the green bean pieces.
4. Boil a pot of water.  Add both the green beans and asparagus to the boiling water. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from hot water and set aside.
5. Prepare vinaigrette by whisking together olive oil, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, minced garlic and black pepper.
