Ingredients 

Potato Salad

• 2 pounds small potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces
• extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 pound (16 ounces) green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 15 ounces (1 can) cannellini beans or great northern beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 lime, halved
• fresh dill 

Avocado Jalapeno Dressing

• 1 ripe avocado
• 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise or regular mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup chopped dill
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• juice of 1 lime (2 to 3 tablespoons)
• 1 garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and roughly chopped 
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Recipe Notes 

• The extra dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to four days. Use it on sandwiches, salads or wraps.

• For a vegan potato salad, use vegan mayonnaise. 

• For even more spice, add some crushed red pepper flakes.

• Store the potato salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.

Here's how to make it: 

1. Place the potatoes, a good drizzle of olive oil, garlic powder and onion powder on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Using clean hands or tongs, toss to combine. Put the pan into a preheated 425-degree F oven and cook potatoes for 25 minutes.
2. While the potatoes cook, make the dressing by combining all the ingredients in a food processor (preferred) or a blender.
   
3. Blend until smooth. Taste to see if you want more heat and if so, add a second jalapeno. Blend again until smooth.
   
4. After 25 minutes, take the potatoes out of the oven and mix them well. Push the potatoes to one side of your pan place the green beans on the open side. Drizzle the beans with a bit of olive oil, salt and black pepper. Toss gently.
   
5. Return the pan to the oven and cook for 10 to 15 more minutes. Make sure to check at 10 minutes to make sure the beans don’t overcook. Beans should should not be soggy and potatoes should be brown on the outside and fork tender on the inside.
   
6. Place the beans and potatoes in a large salad bowl and allow them to cool for at least 5 minutes. Add the white beans and half the avocado dressing and toss well. Taste to see if more salt and pepper should be added.
   
7. When ready to serve, squeeze the lime over the salt and top with some chopped dill. Serve with the extra salad dressing on the side.
