I am really excited about this recipe because it was so good and easy. I used very small white potatoes that I roasted in the oven, frozen green beans also roasted in the oven, sweet onions and my own balsamic dressing that I had on hand. It was quick, delicious and healthy. So nice to have a new salad idea. I'm sure I will make often. Thanks for posting!

another great Kittencal recipe! i used new potatoes and quartered them when warm and added the basil, sweet onion and halved large cherry tomatoes. Then cut up yellow and orange peppers and the green beans to add. I also put some sugar in the dressing. This would work well with green onions too. Such a beautiful and colourful salad! Will make again and again! Thank you!
