Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare Hard-Boiled Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes. Cool under cold running water, then peel and quarter.
- Cook the Potatoes: Halve or quarter the new potatoes, add to a pot of salted boiling water, and boil for about 12 minutes until tender but firm.
- Cook the Green Beans: Add the trimmed green beans to the pot during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking potatoes. They will stay crisp and absorb flavor.
- Ice Bath: Drain the potatoes and beans, then immerse in ice water for 5 minutes to halt cooking and preserve color.
- Make the Vinaigrette: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard in a jar. Add capers and olives, season, and shake until emulsified.
- Combine the Salad: In a mixing bowl, toss potatoes and green beans with half of the vinaigrette. Add fresh herbs and gently fold together.
- Garnish and Chill: Transfer to a serving platter, top with quartered hard-boiled eggs, drizzle with remaining vinaigrette, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Serve and Enjoy: Toss salad before serving. This salad can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.

Notes
For best results, chill the salad for at least an hour to let the flavors meld. Feel free to customize with your favorite extras like cherry tomatoes or chickpeas.
