Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds new or baby potatoes, scrubbed and cut in half

  • 8 ounces green beans, trimmed

  • 5 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste

  • 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar or white-wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 3 tablespoons crumbled Gorgonzola or other blue cheese

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped scallion greens

Directions

  1. Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 450 degrees F.

  2. Toss potatoes and green beans in a large bowl with 2 teaspoons oil, salt and pepper. Spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring once or twice, until the potatoes are tender and golden and the green beans are tender and browned in spots, 25 to 35 minutes.

  3. Whisk the remaining 3 teaspoons oil, vinegar and mustard in a large bowl. Stir in cheese and scallion greens.

  4. When the vegetables are done, toss with the dressing in the bowl. Serve warm.

Tips

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
