Ingredients
  • 2 lb. baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
  • 8 oz. green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 c. packed fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish
  • ½ c. chopped toasted walnuts, plus more for garnish
  • 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • ½ c. extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ c. grated parmesan
  • 1 pt. cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 12 oz. mini mozzarella balls, halved
Instructions
  1. In a large pot, cover potatoes with 2 to 3 inches of water and season generously with salt. Bring water to a boil and cook until potatoes are just barely tender, 15 minutes. Add green beans during last 3 minutes of cooking and cook until potatoes are tender and green beans are just tender. Drain and let cool slightly before transferring to a large serving bowl.
  2. Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine basil, walnuts, and lemon juice. Pulse until ingredients are finely chopped. With machine running, add remaining oil in a slow, steady stream. Add Parmesan and pulse to combine and season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large bowl, toss cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and pesto with potatoes and green beans. Season with salt and pepper and top with more chopped walnuts before serving.
