No Mayonnaise Here!!! Potato Salad

I wanted to make a warm potato salad to go with some homemade coleslaw and grilled brats. This is what I came up with... next time I may use fresh parsley, and some chopped fine red onion. This was also very good chilled!!!

Warm Potato Salad

-serves 4-6 side dish-

Approx. 15 small Potatoes, (I used baby Yukon's and Purple ones from the Farmer's Market)

3/4 tsp. Dry Mustard

1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar

1/2 cup Olive Oil

1 tsp. Sugar

1 1/2 tsp Dried Parsley

Salt and Pepper to taste

Boil your potatoes until fork tender- mine took about 12-15 minutes. The skin on these potatoes rubbed off while still warm... You could also peel with a veggie peeler. Then slice the potatoes thin.

Whisk remaining ingredients together in a bowl, and pour over warm potatoes, letting sit so the flavors can mingle and seep into the potatoes. Serve warm, room temp, or cold.

Lemon Feta Green Beans

This recipe is inspired by a dish my mother-in-law made for us while we were visiting them this summer. I used a pretty assortment of green beans I picked from my mother's garden yesterday. The fresh lemon juice and feta cheese compliment the green beans beautifully. Very simple to make as well. This is our favorite way to eat green beans at the moment!!

Lemon Feta Green Beans

Roughly 3/4-1 Lb of Green Beans

Juice of 1/2 Lemon

2 cloves Garlic, minced

1 Shallot, minced

2 Tbsp. Olive Oil

Approximately 1 oz Feta Cheese, or to taste

Salt and Pepper to taste

1. Saute the garlic and shallot in olive oil, whisk together with the lemon juice, then set aside.

2. Steam the beans until just tender, then pour the garlic/shallot, lemon juice, olive oil mixture over them. Sprinkle Feta Cheese on top while still warm. Season with salt and pepper.
