1
Cover potatoes with two inches of water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Salt water freely while boiling. Boil until potatoes are fork-tender, 10–15 minutes.
2
Place an ice bath beside your sink. Boil the green beans for 2–3 minutes until soft yet snappy, then drain and place in the ice bath to halt cooking.
3
Serve potatoes and green beans in a large bowl. Add tomatoes, onions, olives, and parsley. Cover the salad with dressing and gently mix. Taste and season to taste.
4
Let the salad sit at room temperature for 30 minutes for optimum taste. Allow it to reach room temperature before serving after covering and refrigerating for 2 days.
