Directions
Step 1

Bring another pot of water to a boil. Boil the green beans for 3 to 5 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and immerse in ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, mustard and black pepper. Add the olive oil and whisk to combine. Add the vinaigrette to the potatoes.
Step 4
Add the green beans, capers, tomatoes, onion, olives and fresh herbs to the potatoes. Season with additional black pepper to taste. Toss.
Step 5
