Potato and Green Bean Salad

Description:

If you're looking for something a little different in a potato salad, this potato and green bean combo is an excellent choice. The green beans and red-skinned potatoes add bright color and fresh flavor. A dressing of mayonnaise, sour cream, dill, and lemon brings all the ingredients together in the most delicious way. For best flavor, make the salad a few hours in advance; cover the bowl and chill the salad until serving time.

1 teaspoon salt plus more, to taste

10 oz. Jake & Amos Spiced Dilly Beans (about 2 cups)
