MAIN DISH POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Scrub potatoes, but do not peel. Cover with water, and boil in a covered pot 10 to 17 minutes, depending on their size. If you cannot find tiny new potatoes, use large ones and cut them up.
• 2. Wash and trim the green beans, and steam for 5 to 7 minutes, until they are tender but still firm.
• 3. Shuck corn, and scrape off kernels.
• 4. Wash, trim and seed the whole peppers, and chop finely. Finely chop whole onion.
• 5. In a serving bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper.
• 6. Drain the green beans, reserving the cooking water, and run the beans under cold water.
• 7. Cook the corn 1 or 2 minutes in the water the beans were steamed over.
• 8. Cut the beans into 1-inch pieces, and add to the dressing with the peppers and onions. Drain the corn, and stir into dressing.
• 9. When the potatoes are cooked, drain, run under cold water and slice thinly; stir into the salad.
