The Liege Style Salad is a warm and hearty salad that is perfect for a summer meal. Made with potatoes, green beans, and bacon, this salad is filling and packed with flavor. The reduced balsamic vinegar dressing is a healthier alternative to traditional dressings, as it adds a tangy and sweet flavor without the added fat and calories. Serve this salad as a main meal or as a side dish at your next summer barbecue.

Instructions

1.	Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil.
2.	Add the cubed potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
3.	In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Crumble the bacon and set it aside.
4.	In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the sliced onions and sauté until translucent. Add the green beans to the skillet and sauté for an additional 5 minutes or until the green beans are tender.
5.	Add the cooked potatoes, green beans, and crumbled bacon into a large bowl.
6.	In a small saucepan, heat the balsamic vinegar until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the balsamic vinegar is reduced to half its original volume.
7.	Pour the reduced balsamic over the salad. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
