Instructions
Roast vegetables:
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
In a bowl, toss ½ lb fingerling potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper until well coated. Spread on prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast potatoes for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss 2 cups green beans with remaining 1 tablespoons olive oil, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper in a separate bowl.
After 15 minutes, add green beans to baking sheet with potatoes. Roast for an additional 10-12 minutes, until potatoes are golden and tender and green beans are tender-crisp with a slight bite.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes while you prepare vinaigrette.
Make vinaigrette:
In a jar with a lid or a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup avocado oil or olive oil, 2 tablespoons stone ground mustard, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 2 teaspoons honey, finely minced ½ shallot, finely minced 1 clove garlic, kosher salt, and ground black pepper.
Shake jar vigorously or whisk until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Set aside.
Assemble salad:
In a large bowl, combine 8 cups mixed greens, 2 cups cooked corn, and 2 cups cherry tomatoes.
Add cooled roasted potatoes and green beans to bowl.
Drizzle mustard vinaigrette over salad and toss until everything is well coated.
Season with additional kosher salt to taste if needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
Roasting vegetables separately: Start the potatoes first, then add the green beans for the last 10-12 minutes. This prevents the green beans from overcooking while the potatoes become tender.
Potato options: Fingerling potatoes work best, but you can also use baby potatoes, red potatoes, or Yukon gold potatoes cut into bite-sized pieces.
Fresh or frozen corn: Both work great. If using frozen, thaw it first. You can also use leftover grilled corn for extra flavor.
Naturally gluten-free and dairy-free: This salad is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free as written. Add grilled chicken or goat cheese if desired.
