for the Salad
3 medium potatoes (any fall variety), unpeeled
½ lb. green beans
2 apples, unpeeled
2 stalks celery
½ recipe curry mayo

for the Curry Mayo
1 large egg
2 tsp. vinegar
2 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
Pinch of sea salt
1 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp. curry powder
1 tsp. celery seeds
Salt and pepper

Cut potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Transfer to a pot of boiling water and cook 10 minutes, until semi soft. Drain and place into a medium bowl to cool. Break beans into 1-inch pieces and steam until al dente, 8–10 minutes. Add to bowl with potatoes; refrigerate to cool. Chop apple and celery into 1/2-inch dice; gently mix with potatoes and beans.

To make curry mayonnaise: In a deep bowl, combine egg, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, and a pinch of sea salt. Use an immersion blender to combine. While blender is running, slowly pour in olive oil until emulsified. Stir in curry powder and celery seed. Add ½ the curried mayo to potato and bean salad; reserve remaining mayo for sandwiches.
