Cooking Guide
Cook the potatoes: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the potatoes until tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
Cook the green beans: While the potatoes are cooking, blanch the green beans in a separate pot of boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Drain the green beans with cold water to stop the cooking process and preserve their bright green color.
Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Assemble the salad: Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, add them to a large bowl. Toss in the cooked green beans, red onion, and chopped herbs. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly.
Serve: Serve the potato salad at room temperature or slightly chilled.
