Italian Potato and Green Bean Salad (VIDEO)

This Italian Potato & Green Bean Salad is a far cry from the gloppy mayonnaise version we’re all used to seeing on the picnic table this time of the year. In this version tender crisp green beans and potatoes are tossed in garlicky lemon vinaigrette to add a new twist. The green beans are so low in calories that you can indulge in a much larger portion without wrecking your diet. It’s the perfect addition to any menu since it can be served either warm or chilled and it goes with anything you’ve got on the grill.
