Ingredients

  • 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 (8 ounce) package crumbled feta
  • 1 bunch fresh oregano sprigs

Directions

Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add green beans; cook until slightly tender, but still crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately drain green beans and plunge them into ice water to stop cooking further. Drain beans and place them in a shallow serving dish.

Step 2
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic in oil for about 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in olives, tomatoes, vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Step 3
Pour mixture over green beans; toss together until beans are evenly coated. Sprinkle feta cheese on top and garnish with oregano sprigs. Chill at least 3 hours before serving.
