Directions
Tasting notes: This salad has so many great flavors that compliment the Riesling and bring out the citrus and honey notes.
Serena's Tips: I do a portion of the prep the day before - make the dressing and cook the potatoes and green beans. With the salad dressing, I use less oil then the recipe calls for and reduce the fresh herbs but that is a matter of personal taste.
