Yukon gold potatoes – 4 to 5 potatoes cut into 1 inch pieces
(steam potatoes until tender – 7 to 10 minutes)

green beans – 1 1/2 cups cut into 1/2 inch pieces
(add beans to potatoes a few minutes before they are finished cooking)

pine nuts – 1 tbsp

fresh chives – 1 tbsp finely minced

Quick Tip: for a quicker way to cut up chives, use scissors and just cut them to desired length right into the salad bowl. It’s much faster and easier than using a knife.
