Just like the name of the dish implies, this recipe makes a lovely side dish of green beans, kalamata olives, and tomatoes. These items are tossed with red wine vinegar, garlic, and oregano before being finished with a sprinkling of feta cheese. Allow the flavors to marinate together overnight for even better results.
