“Delicious salad of green beans, potatoes, red peppers, and goat cheese goes perfectly with chicken or pork. Experiment with other potato types such as purple and other soft cheeses, such as garlic and herb.” - by LindaT

2 pounds red potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
1 serving olive oil cooking spray
1/2 pound frozen French-style green beans, thawed

Directions

Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Place potatoes in a large bowl.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; grease with cooking spray. Cook and stir the green beans and onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic; cook and stir until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute more.
Transfer the green bean mixture into the large bowl with the potatoes. Add the balsamic vinaigrette, roasted red peppers, and basil; toss lightly. Stir in the goat cheese.

"I wasn't going to make this(recipe group) because DH does not like hot potato salad. But, had to make and post a photo. I had beans already cooked from something else, so I added them to the potatoes..." See more with some of my roasted red peppers, made some balsamic vinaigrette, and put it all together for a sampling and forgot the cheese. I was going to sub cream cheese, but totally left it out. Good flavor, I don't like a lot of balsamic dressing, too vinegary for me, but the longer this sat (and cooled) the better it tasted. I think it might even be good as a cold salad. The potatoes need some salt in there somewhere, unless it is picking it up from the goat cheese. Anyway, sorry about the cheese and thanks Linda!"
