Finely chopped toasted walnuts bulk up the yogurt dressing for this gorgeous salad. It's pretty enough to serve to company, either as the main course of a vegetarian meal or as a meatless offering at a summer potluck.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 8

Ingredients

2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons plain low-fat yogurt
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup walnuts, toasted and finely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons walnut oil
1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
6 ounces haricots verts or other green beans, trimmed
3 ounces baby arugula

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Whisk together vinegar, yogurt, mustard, and the toasted nuts in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add walnut oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified.

    Step 2

    2. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to a colander to drain. Return pan of water to a boil.

    Step 3

    3. Prepare an ice-water bath. Add green beans to boiling water and cook until tender and bright green, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and cut into 2-inch pieces.

    Step 4

    4. Arrange arugula, potatoes, and green beans on a platter. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with dressing, toss to coat, and serve.
