chicken, green beans, potatoes, and bell pepper salad.

Obviously, I'm not quite sure what to call this salad, so I just listed its ingredients. I got the recipe from a Real Simple magazine that I picked up a year ago on my honeymoon, and just recently gave it a try. I thought it was pretty good and also easy to make.

The ingredients:

-small red new potatoes, cut in half. (I used 4 total for the 2 of us...2 potatoes each and it was enough)

-green beans. (I just grabbed a bunch)

-1 yellow bell pepper, sliced lengthwise in strips.

-chicken, shredded. (The recipe says rotisserie chicken, but I just baked 2 chicken breasts with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper and then shredded those).

-3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

-2 tsp dijon mustard

-1 tbsp white wine vinegar

-kosher salt

-black pepper

Directions:

-Cook the potatoes in a steamer basket over simmering water, covered, for about 10 minutes.

-Add the green beans and cook, covered, until both are tender.

-Run under cold water to cool.

-In a bowl, whisk the oil, mustard, vinegar, and 1/4 tsp of both salt & pepper.

-Arrange the chicken, potatoes, green beans, and peppers on plates and drizzle with the dressing.**

Here's a picture of how mine turned out.

**Note: the dressing is pretty strong, so I'd suggest tasting it first to see how much you want drizzled on.
