Cut turkey bacon into bite size pieces and fry in a large skillet until crisp. Remove turkey bacon from skillet and place on paper towel to remove any excess fat.
Slice potatoes (unpeeled) into bite size pieces and cook in boiling water until just tender, approximately 15 minutes. While potatoes are boiling, stem beans and cook for 8 minutes or until just tender and slightly crisp.
While the beans are cooking, combine the dressing ingredients and whisk together.
Drain potatoes and beans and then place potatoes, beans, and bacon into a serving bowl. Pour dressing on top and toss.
Serve at room temperature.
