Add 1 pound of baby potatoes and 4 eggs to a large pan.

Cover the potatoes and eggs with enough water and place the pan over medium-high heat to bring to a boil.

Heat another pan with water and some salt for blanching the green beans.

Finely chop a handful of parsley and place it in a small bowl.

Remove the rosemary leaves and finely chop them, then do the same with a couple of sprigs of fresh oregano, adding them to the bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of dry oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of red chili flakes, 2 minced cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, and 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to the bowl.

Season with fresh ground black pepper and mix well; reserve the chimichurri dressing.

Once the second pan of water is boiling, add 6 oz of trimmed green beans and boil for 3-5 minutes until bright green.

Transfer the green beans to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

Remove the eggs from the pan after 7-8 minutes of boiling, once the water starts to boil.

Finely slice 4-5 small radishes while the potatoes finish cooking.

Check the potatoes and remove them from the pan once they are fork tender; set aside to cool.

Chop 3-4 strips of bacon and add them to a skillet over medium-high heat to cook until crispy.

Peel and cut the cooled potatoes into pieces and cut the green beans into 1-inch pieces.

Cut the eggs into quarters and season with a little salt and fresh ground black pepper.

Add the crispy bacon to the salad and toss gently.

Add the radishes at the end for presentation and top the salad with the herb chimichurri dressing.
