for mustard lovers

so WOW it's been awhile since i've posted here! it's not that i haven't been cooking, but more that time just seemed to disappear!
so today i've got a mustardy creation for you. being a true lover of one of the greatest condiments around, i had fun trying this recipe for a dijon potato salad! with spring at our doorsteps i thought this would be a different and interesting dinner. and it hit the spot for me tonight!
here in dc spring lasts for about 6 days and then it suddenly becomes the muggy swampy summer again. so i'm embracing light and crisp while i can! lol.

dijon potato salad

-about 1 lb cooked, quartered red potatoes (i made them a tad bigger than bite size)
-1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed and cut, then boil for a couple minutes and then drain and rinse with cold water
-1 1/2 cups canned white beans, drained and rinsed (i put in two 14 oz cans, cuz i didn't want a half can of beans leftover :)
-1 small red pepper, rid of innards and diced

directions: toss above with the dressing below!

dijon dressing:

3/4 cup honey mustard
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
2 1/4 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 1/2 tbsp fresh parsley, minced (except i'm incapable of mincing anything)
3/4 tbsp dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste

warning: the dressing is strong! but it has great bite to it along with the sweetness of the honey mustard. this recipe also makes a LOT of dressing, so i recommend not dumping it all on at once, so you can decide how much sauce you want! lol. i, of course, love me some mustard and love me some sauce, so i used it all!
