Prep the Potatoes 

• Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water in a Kitchen Colander. Make sure to remove all the dirt from the surface. Also remove any other impurities from the surface if any. Potatoes are ready to be boiled.

Boil the Potatoes

• Place the clean & washed potatoes in the Inner Pot of the Instant Pot. Add 1 cup of water. Place the lid and set the valve to sealing. Pressure cook it on HIGH for 7 minutes and follow NPR (natural pressure release). Once the safety valve drops down, open the lid. Carefully transfer the potatoes in a Strainer and drain all the liquid. Let the potatoes come to room temperature before handling these for the salad. Once the potatoes are cooled, chop these into 6 to 8 bit size pieces. Do not chop them too small. Set aside.

Prep the Green Beans 

• After you cook the potatoes in the instant pot, cook the green beans in Instant pot. Place a trivet inside the IP and then place a steamer basket on top. Put the washed and trimmed green beans on it. Close the lid and set the valve to sealing. Pressure Cook on HIGH for 0 minute. Follow QPR (quick pressure release). Take the beans out and give them a cool water bath to retain the crispiness of the beans. Cut these beans into 3 pieces each.
• Or you can just microwave the green beans for 1&1/2 minutes in 2 tbsp water. Drain the water later and run them through cold water.

Prep the Green Peas

• Use frozen green peas. Thaw them in the microwave for 1 minute or till thawed.

Prep other Vegetables & Herbs

• Finely chop the Red Onions into very thin slices. Now prep the Red Bell peppers by removing the cap and de-seeding the peppers. Now finely chop the bell peppers. Set aside.
• Wash dill & Parsley. Remove the thick stems but keep the tender ones. Now chop the herbs fine.

Make Salad Dressing

• Take a Mason Jar and add White Wine Vinegar , Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Dijon Mustard, Salt & Black Pepper + Lemon Juice to it. Close the lid and give it a good shake till all the ingredients are mixed well.

Put the Salad together

• Take a large salad bowl. Add cooled & Chopped Potatoes, chopped Green Beans, room temperature Green Peas, thinly sliced Red Onions, finely chopped Red Bell Peppers, finely chopped Dill & Parsley. Drench the Vegetables with Mustard Vinegar Dressing. Take the Salad Tongs and mix all the ingredients gently. Make sure that all the ingredients are well coated with the dressing. Salad is ready to be served. Make it ahead of time for best taste.
• Adjust Salt & Black Pepper as needed. Potato needs extra salt.
