Cucumber, String Bean & Potato Salad

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more affordable while still providing a neutral flavor.

red wine vinegar

🥗Healthier: apple cider vinegar

💰Cheaper: white vinegar

White vinegar is a cost-effective alternative with a similar acidity.

Boil a pot of water.

Add potatoes to the boiling water, using red Bliss potatoes or any potatoes of similar size.

Once the potatoes are halfway done, add the string beans whole into the pot to cook together.

Cut cucumbers in half-moon shapes.

Slice red onion, keeping it a little thick for crunch.

Prepare the dressing by mixing 2/3 olive oil with 1/3 red wine vinegar, adding a little salt and fresh black pepper.

Check the potatoes and string beans for doneness.

Once cooked, drain the potatoes and string beans, and add a little salt.

Combine the potatoes and string beans in a bowl and toss them together, adjusting the dressing as needed with more oil or vinegar.

Serve the salad, noting that it will keep well and not wilt.
