Potato, Green Bean and Spinach Salad Recipe (2024)

I served this without the spinach, as I was also serving asparagus. The flavors are delish! I dumped the just-steamed potatoes onto a baking sheet to cool so the excess water would evaporate. That allowed the dressing to cling really well. And I used regular good yellow mustard vs. Dijon to accommodate some younger taste buds; sour cream vs. yogurt because I had it on hand. I'll definitely be making this again.

This had too much potatoes in it for our liking, even though I reduced the amount of potatoes. Potatoes need more seasoning in addition to the dressing. A little crumbled bacon would be great but negate the vegan aspect!

I added a handful of lentils to the potato step for some added fiber and protein. I also used a tablespoon of water instead of the full amount of olive oil to lower the fat content. Finally, I added a 1/2 cup or so of cooked beets I had on hand which added a nice sweetness. The dressing isn't too complicated but has great flavor.

Made it for the first time yesterday and took it to a potluck--not my usual way of doing things, but I was trusting the 5-star rating. I made two changes, which was to change the feta to goat cheese crumbles and the yogurt to goat milk yogurt, to accommodate some dietary requirements. It really is a fantastic salad and worth the extra time it takes to make. The vinaigrette is outrageously good!

So yummy! And adaptable to other vegies you might wish to add.

Excellent. Steaming potatoes for salad from now on. Used cotija instead of bacon because we already had some. Added some bacon bits. Would be great with hard boiled eggs.

This salad was easy to prepare and received very well at my table. I used Herbs de Provence instead of the fresh herbs, simply because that’s what I had on hand. I added hard-boiled eggs and bacon to half of the salad to meet my son’s appetite. I will definitely make this salad again.

New favorite dressing. Used balsamic vinegar as all that I had on hand. Throw on the good tuna and some olivs and something akin to a Nicoise!

And bacon- cooked the onion with the bacon

Maybe add bacon

I've made this salad twice and we enjoyed it both times. Before preparing the salad, I read many of the comments and especially noted a commenter who suggested that crumbled bacon would be a great addition. I prepared the salad as written with the exception of adding crumbled bacon at the end. Wow. This salad is very good as is; with bacon, it becomes a favorite.

Used homemade Mayo instead of yogurt, broccoli instead of green beans, and added grilled corn,

Made this as directed, but added some Herbs de Provence sprinkled on the potatoes and ground pepper. Oh and I skipped the feta because I’m allergic to dairy. It was great. I agree with someone else’s comment about adding bacon. I think it would be a great add. Also think chopped tomatoes or walnuts could easily be added. But, as is, it’s very good.

Satisfied with the recipe but didn’t find it spectacular nor unforgettable. Would make it again though if I happen to have the ingredients on hand

LOVED this. Served with ATK flank steak with composed butter and it was a great hit. Thanks Martha.

This recipe is really delicious but also very adaptable. I added chopped hard-boiled egg to make substantial lunch salad. I contemplated also adding chunks of tuna, but decided against. But will consider the next time. Sherry vinegar is the star in the dressing, don't substitute.

Delicious! Needed to use up some spinach and found this recipe. Agree, the dressing is the star, but the recipe is very well balanced. Used red wine vinegar because it was what I had on hand. Looking forward to making this again, experimenting with other herbs. Used parsley the first time. Husband and mother-in-law raved.

I wanted to note, it's important to follow the RATIOS of this recipe (starch, veggies, acid, sweet, etc)... but you can swap out some things for others pretty easily. I did the following replacements:-apple cider vinegar instead of sherry vinegar-yellow mustard instead of dijon-coconut yogurt instead of cow's milk yogurt-I used dried dill and fresh cilantro as my herbs-bacon instead of feta (I don't care for feta, but you DO need to top it with something powerfully flavorful and crumbled!)
