Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the red potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch cubes.
  2. Place the potato cubes in a microwave-safe bowl and add 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and microwave on high for 5-7 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain any excess water.
  3. While potatoes cook, place frozen green beans in a separate microwave-safe bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of water, cover, and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain well.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes and green beans. Allow them to cool slightly so they are warm but not hot.
  5. Add the sliced celery, minced onion, and fat-free Italian salad dressing to the bowl.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
