Rustic New Potato and Bean Salad

Tuesday night, some close friends and their children came to our house for a “Hello Summer” party; our Kidlets are out of school and in the mood to play, play, play.

As the sun set and all the big Kidlets chased each other in a Silly String fight, the Daddies grilled hot dogs, my friend Lori intermittently snuggled and wrestled a very active Barney Kneeknuckles, and I prepared my new favorite side-dish: Rustic New Potato and Bean Salad.

It’s a simple recipe that uses Mediterranean seasonings, salt, pepper and roasting to bring out the most wonderful, homey flavors . . . perfect for a backyard gathering.  An unpretentious dish that goes well with everything — even kid-food (AKA grilled hot dogs).

As you can see in the recipe, I used one of Lawry’s NEW marinades for this roasted salad.   The Mediterranean Herb and White Wine Marinade is full-bodied, featuring basil, oregano, garlic and sun-dried tomato blended with white wine and extra virgin olive oil.  The first whiff when I opened the bottle was very strong but it cooks beautifully with the vegetables and aromatics, creating the perfect Mediterranean flavor-profile.

Just delicious.
