Ingredients

4 Medium potatoes

4 1/2 Cups Steamed fresh green beans

1/4 Cup Oil-free Italian dressing

1/4 Cup Balsamic or rice vinegar

2-3 Cloves Garlic

Freshly ground pepper to taste

Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

1 Small red onion

Directions

1 Peel, chop and boil the potatoes until fork tender.

2 Set aside 3/4 cup of cooked potato. Combine the remaining potatoes with the green beans. Pour the oil-free dressing and vinegar over them, mix well, and allow to marinate for 1 hour.

3 Place the reserved 3/4 cup of potato in a blender with the garlic. Process briefly and add small amounts of water until the mixture has a paste like consistency. (The texture will vary depending on how soft the potato is.) Remove from the blender and place in a bowl. Stir in the pepper to taste along with the cilantro and onion. Stir this mixture into the beans and potato. Chill before serving.
