Recipe View 3 hrs Chill: Garnish with fresh oregano sprigs. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together. (3 hours)

For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the green beans before marinating them.
If you don't have fresh oregano, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried oregano.
Feel free to add other vegetables like cucumbers or bell peppers to the salad.
Marinating overnight is highly recommended, the flavors meld together beautifully.
