Recipe
1) Bring potatoes and water to cover to a boil in a medium saucepan over high
heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook until tender but not mushy, about 10
minutes.
2) Meanwhile, combine the olive oil, vinegar, corn syrup, rosemary, salt and
black pepper in pint jar with lid. Shake well and pour half of dressing into
a large bowl. Reserve remaining dressing.
3) Transfer potatoes from simmering water to bowl of dressing with a slotted
spoon. Add green beans to simmering water and cook 5 minutes. Drain well,
reserving 1/3 cup of the cooking liquid. Toss beans with green onions.
4) Stir carrots, red pepper and olives into potatoes along with the reserved
cooking liquid. To serve immediately, stir in the green beans and onions.
Divide salad greens among 4 plates; mound warm salad into the center and
garnish with eggs, if desired. Shake reserved dressing and drizzle over
salads.
5) To serve later, chill potato mixture, green bean mixture and reserved
dressing separately, covered, until just before serving. Heat salad in
microwave or over low heat on top of stove, stir in green bean mixture and
arrange as directed in step 4.
