..and add to the bowl.

Remarks

It's important to try and make this a warm salad, with both the beans and potatoes still warm from cooking, served without delay.

If you don't have Comté cheese, any other hard-paste cheese you like will do fine.

Keeping

Best eaten immediately but will keep in the fridge for later.
