A fast and easy side dish recipe, your friends and family will love this warm potato and green bean salad with tomatoes and corn.
Summer entertaining season is in full swing which means I find myself always on the lookout for a fast, easy and healthy dish to bring to a get together.
Whether it’s a backyard BBQ at a neighbor’s house or a beach party at the cottage, I never seem to have enough go-to recipes for gatherings. And since there is usually never a shortage of unhealthy options (hello cupcakes with blue frosting!), I like to bring fresh and healthy recipes that everyone can enjoy.
Most recently I created this warm potato and green bean salad made with tomatoes and corn then drizzled with a garlic-parsley lemon vinaigrette. Yum, right?
The best part is that thanks to The Little Potato Company’s microwavable packages, these potatoes don’t require any boiling or dirtying of yet another dish! Afterall, we have sprinklers to run through.
To celebrate summer I tossed the warm potatoes with green beans, corn and tomatoes but feel free to use whatever vegetables you have on hand or are in season. This recipe is extremely easy and versatile – the way summer food should be.
Your fork is waiting.

I love their potatoes so much, can’t stop buying bags of them from BJs lately. Usually I just roast them up as a side for dinner but I’m loving this healthy salad for summer get togethers!
