Potato, Green Bean and Avocado Salad
Potato, Green Bean and Avocado Salad
Now forget about the mayo potato salads and talk about garlic, olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice and cilantro – I feel this deep pride to this combination, being born and raised in Lebanon – a classic combination in lots of Lebanese recipes. Not to mention the green beans and avocados – they do take your potatoes to another tier and make your salad more special.
The credit goes to my dear friend Waffa who taught me about this fabulous salad. Now this salad is a favorite that I make every now and then. I have served it on lots of occasions and always received rave reviews. The secret to a super successful result is to roughly mash the cooked green beans, allowing the flavors to infuse together. Serve it at room temperature or even cold. Happy eating!
Meanwhile place the green beans in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to very low, cover up and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain and place in a large bowl. Add the crushed garlic and roughly smash the green beans with a mortar and pestle or a potato masher, infusing the garlic with the beans.
