This is an Italian peasant salad my family and friends always enjoy. It can be served warm or cold. Good as a side dish or with leftovers.

Serves 4-6

• 1/2 pound potatoes
• 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped in half
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons wine vinegar
• 2-3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon or more, oregano
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 pinch dried, red pepper flakes (optional)
• salt & pepper to taste

1. Steam beans till tender (8-10 Minutes). Drain and place on a serving platter.
2. Boil the potatoes. Do not rinse. Drain & cube them, leaving the skin on. Add to beans.
3. Using a large spoon, gently toss the beans & potatoes with the rest of the ingredients.
4. Serve the salad at room temperature or refrigerate for a marinated flavor.
