Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 lb fresh green beans , topped and tailed
2 tbsp red wine vinegar (or sub your favourite fruit vinegar)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 fresh garlic clove (optional)
1/2 red onion, diced
3 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
2 red radishes, thinly sliced
1 tsp fresh oregano, chopped well (or sub 1/2 tsp dried)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered (or halved )
sea salt
black pepper

Directions:

Bring about 2 inches of water to boil in the bottom of a steamer. Add the beans to the top part, cover and let steam until tender but still firm (about 4-5 minutes). You really want to retain their crispness. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. You could also dunk them into a ice water bath. Drain well and pat dry.
While the beans cook, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, mustard and garlic and season to taste with S&P. (If using feta you likely won't want any salt).
Place the cooled beans into a bowl with the onions, cilantro, radish slices, oregano and toss together with the dressing. Adjust seasoning.
Transfer to a serving platter. Surround the beans with the tomato wedges for garnish. Chill until ready to serve.
