Nice simmer side dish I love- New Potato and Green Bean Pesto Salad

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound small red or yellow-fleshed potatoes, halved
1 1/2 pounds green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup packed basil leaves
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano-cheese
In a medium pot, cover the potatoes with cold water and bring to a boil.
Salt the water, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the beans; cook for 4 minutes.

While the potatoes cook, using a food processor, puree the basil, pine nuts, garlic, lemon peel, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and
1/2 teaspoon pepper. With the machine on, pour in the 1/3 cup oil in a steady stream.
Transfer the pesto to a large bowl and stir in the cheese.
. Drain the potatoes and beans, add to the pesto and toss to coat; season to taste with salt and pepper.

So funny you posted this I've been making this salad for the past few years. I was convinced that I "invented" it. Truth is I adapted it from something I had on the East end that was just a little bit different.

Great recipe!! Hope everyone enjoys it.
