Ingredients
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 pound green beans, end trimmed
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 clove garlic, grated
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons fresh oregano, finely chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup crumbled feta
1/4 cup sliced toasted almonds
Directions
- Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook at a rapid boil until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the green beans to an ice bath, then dry on a kitchen towel.
- Add the green beans to a grill basket and place over indirect heat to char them slightly, about 5 minutes. You do not have to cover the grill. When they reach the char level you are looking for, transfer them to a serving platter.
- Whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, mustard and oregano in a medium bowl. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly, then season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the oregano vinaigrette over the green beans while still warm, then sprinkle with the feta and almonds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
