Ingredients

1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
pinch crushed red pepper
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 1/2- 2 pound green beans, stems removed
3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
1 pound cherry tomatoes, skewered on six-inch skewers, four to five per skewer
1 bunch of scallions
1/2 red onion, cut in wedges with root still attached
1 bunch dill, roughly chopped
1 pound feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

Mix together all ingredients and set aside until ready to use.
Prepare grill to medium-high heat. Toss green beans with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and half of the salt and pepper. Drizzle tomatoes, scallions, and onion with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. When grill is hot, shake excess oil off of green beans and gently place on grill, watching out for flare-ups. Leave on grill for a couple of minutes, until the beans are lightly charred. Don’t worry about all the beans being cooked through. Take beans off grill and place in a heat-proof bowl; let cool.
Place skewered tomatoes, scallions, and onion (cut side down) on grill. Flip tomatoes and scallions when they first begin to char. Remove from grill when both sides are lightly charred. Let the onion fully char on cut edges before you remove from the grill.
When cool, take tomatoes off skewer and place in bowl with green beans. Roughly chop the scallions and take ends off the onion. Add to bowl. Add feta, dill, and vinaigrette to bowl. Gently toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature.
