Let the potatoes cool in the pan. In a blender purée the garlic, the vinegar, the rosemary leaves, and salt to taste, with the motor running add the remaining 1/3 cup oil in a stream, and blend the dressing until it is emulsified. In a small bowl of ice and cold water let the onion soak for 5 minutes, drain it well, and pat it dry.

Steps:

• Heat grill. Place green beans in medium microwave-safe bowl with 1 tablespoon water. Microwave on HIGH for 4 to 6 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Set aside.
• Place potatoes in large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of the salad dressing; toss to coat. Spoon potatoes into grill basket.
• When ready to grill, place grill basket on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. During last 5 minutes of cooking time, stir onion into potatoes.
• In large bowl, combine cooked green beans, potatoes, onion and remaining salad dressing; mix well. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate 1 hour to chill before serving.

GREEN BEANS AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in water to cover for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on their size, until they are tender but firm; drain, and cut in quarters or halves, again depending on size. Meanwhile, steam the green beans 5 to 7 minutes, depending on their thickness; drain, and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Cut in quarters or thirds, depending on size.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, lemon juice and mustard; stir in the thyme and onion. When potatoes are cooked, stir them into the dressing. If the salad is not to be served immediately, do not add the green beans: the acid of the dressing will turn them gray. Cover the beans well, cover the dressed potatoes and refrigerate separately.
• To serve, let the vegetables return to room temperature. Stir the green beans into the potatoes and dressing, and season with salt and pepper.
