    I haven’t been able to find a sun-dried tomato pesto. Can I use a sun-dried tomato bruschetta topping instead?

      Hi Abbey, I’m sorry you couldn’t find the sun-dried tomato pesto. I bet it would taste good with the Sun-dried tomato bruschetta topping. It may be a little different than my recipe, but I bet it will be delicious.

        Luckily, I found the pesto at Wal-Mart, so I was able to make the recipe as you have it, and it was great! With some grilled chicken breast, it was a nice small healthy dinner for me for a few days. Going in my”keep” box!

          I’m so happy you found the pesto and that you liked it. It goes really well with grilled chicken. Thanks for circling back around to let me know.

    Loved this salad with the sundried tomato pesto. I did add extra steaming time as the beans/potatoes were still a little too crunchy for our tastes. I also chose to cool them off slowly and then add the pesto while they were still a little warm. It helped the pesto to adhere to the beans and potatoes. I also reduced the amount of pesto a little bit and did not add the extra oil as the pesto was quite oily itself. This is one of those salads that you can’t get enough of. Definitely a salad that I will make again soon. Hope you don’t mind the minor changes.

    How far in advance can you make this salad.

      Hi Adele,

      I usually make the salad about 1 to 2 hours before serving. However, you could cook the potatoes and green beans a day or two ahead of time, but I would wait to assemble and toss them with the dressing until the day you are ready to serve.

      Thanks,

      Michele
