Italian Potato Salad with Sweet Basil Pesto Directions
- Wash the potatoes and prepare to steam them by cutting any larger potatoes in half so that they are all the same size and cook evenly.

- Remove the potatoes from the steamer and allow them to cool.
- Cut the string beans into small bite-size pieces.
- Steam the string beans for 3-5 minutes until they are tender.
- Remove the string beans from the steamer and allow them to cool.
- Cut the bell pepper into small bite-size pieces.
- Place all of the prepared vegetables into a medium-sized bowl.
- Drizzle 1/2 of the pesto sauce over the vegetables.
- Add the kosher salt to the bowl and toss well until everything is evenly coated with the pesto sauce. You can add a little bit of olive oil if desired.
- Serve the salad immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Notes
You can add tomatoes to this salad or substitute them for the peppers if preferred. Get creative by adding black olives or small chunks of Reggiano Parmigiano cheese.
