Pretty cool, subtle flavors, but I feel like there was something missing...maybe more worcestershire, maybe some Italian seasonings? Would love to try this again, but remember to taste the dressing and play around with it before adding to the potatoes.

Here's my prelimonary rating...4 stars I want to see how it is after the flavors blend... However, before I forget... here's how I made it. I doubled the potatoes and green beans, used only 1/4 of the raw onion (because we can't eat too much raw onion in my family), added 1/4 of a red pepper (that's all I had), and added some onion powder to compensate for using less raw onion. It looks like it will be good... I hope so, because I'm bringing it to a party tonight! :) Changing it to 5 stars.... excellent and I had a lot of people asking for the recipe!

I've made this recipe several times now for different occassions and its always a hit! I added vine cherry tomatoes cut in half and crumbled bacon. I personally like the amount of dressing. I've made it again tonight for our football tailgate tomorrow...hope its a hit again!!

I am in the minority here, but my family did not like this at all. We served cold and the flavors just didn't blend well for us.

Like other reviewers, I found that there was simply too much dressing and my veggies drowned. :( However, I am planning on using that dressing as a chicken marinade overnight tonight. Loved the flavor - seems very versatile!

Excellent autumn dish - a little less dijon mustard (it sort of overtook the flavor of the basil and garlic). I definitely recommend either using less of the dressing mix or more potatoes and beans. I threw some chopped spinach in to make it a little healthier and add a bit of color. Otherwise a good, quick, recipe. Oh, and second time around I would add sungold cherry tomatoes.

My family asked that I never make potato salad with mayo again! This was sooooo good. I did cut back on the amount of olive oil, but that was the only change. No need to fear taking on a picnic or to a BBQ, excellent hot, cold or room temp.

Other than over-cooking my potatoes :( this is fabulous!! I think the dressing alone would be a great recipe! Like some other reviews, I added FRESH halved cherry tomatoes (had hundreds to use up). If I had to give one negative critique, it would be that I think there was a TAD too much dressing (I even had more potatoes and beans than recipe called for). So if you're a little short on oil or Balsamic - still go for it!!

Very good! I doubled the potatoes and green bean mixture and let it all sit in the fridge for a few hours, it was even better the next day!

I made this whole recipe for just me and my boyfriend so that we could eat it throughout the week with other meals since its a reasonable side. He loved it and I had doubled the sauce and potatoes because my boyfriend likes those the most and thought the sauce was delicious but a bit heavy. When I make it again I'll just do 1x sauce. Thanks for the recipe though.

Good. Not the best. Kids refused to eat it because the balsamic vinegar turned the potatoes brown.

This is a terrific & healthy potato salad. I added sliced carrots to steam with the beans, a drizzle of molasses to the dressing, and threw in a can of rinsed kidney beans to the finished salad to make it a complete meal. Delicious!

I just made this and it looks like the dog's breakfast and tastes like heaven! I made it pretty much according to the directions. I cut down the olive oil a little, increased the basil, and added some crumbled bacon. Finally, a recipe that uses green beans that I like! I hope I can leave it alone long enough to let it get cool and steep in the flavors. YUM!!
