Ingredients:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 bunch mixed salad greens
- 450g red potatoes, quartered
- 450g green beans, trimmed or 1 can drained
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 hard boiled eggs
- 1 handful fried onion straws, optional
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons oil, divided
Instructions:
- Combine mayo, dijon mustard, and honey in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of mustard and honey to reach your desired level of sweetness and sharpness. Gradually mix in milk to dilute the dressing. For a thicker dressing, reduce the amount of milk; for a thinner dressing, increase it. Stir in the shallot and dried parsley. Set aside.
- Heat up your grill to a temperature of 200 °C as you prep the vegetables.
- Coat the quartered potatoes with olive oil, salt, and Italian seasoning. Grill for around 15 minutes before flipping them to cook on the other side. Keep grilling for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until they are tender. Set them aside.
- In a pan over medium to medium-high heat, warm up 1 tablespoon of oil for the green beans. Sauté the green beans for approximately 5 minutes, tossing them to avoid excessive browning. Set them aside.
- To assemble the salad, combine the lettuce with the dressing in a large salad bowl (you might not need all the dressing). Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the lettuce. Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes, cooked green beans, and grilled potatoes on top of the dressed lettuce and cheese. Garnish with hard-boiled eggs and fried onions (if desired) before serving.
- Tips and Substitutions - For a lighter dressing, swap out the mayo for light sour cream or Greek yogurt. If using an electric grill, consider adding a small smoker box with wood chips to enhance the grilled flavor of the potatoes. Alternatively, you can roast the potatoes in a 400-degree oven if you don't have a grill or prefer not to use one. When it comes to green beans, you can also enjoy them raw if they are fresh. Canned green beans can be used instead for added convenience.
