INSTRUCTIONS
Put the potatoes in a large pot, sprinkle with salt, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook about 15 minutes, until tender. Drain in a colander. Or potatoes can be lightly oiled and roasted in a 425 degree oven for 20 minutes until soft. While the potatoes are cooking, blanch the greens beans: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the beans and cook over high heat for about 2-3 minutes until just tender. Drain, then plunge into an ice bath to cool. Drain and set aside. To make the dressing, whisk together by hand or in a food processor, the mustard and vinegar, then add the oil in a steady stream until the dressing is thickened and emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing into a serving bowl, add the hot potatoes and onions and toss lightly. Set aside. No more than 3 hours before serving, add the greens beans and parsley and toss with the remaining dressing. Note: Cut a band around the center of small new potatoes before cooking to avoid the jackets from bursting. If the potatoes are larger, cut them in halves or quarters.

A Message from our Provider:
“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
