Boil water in a pot until it reaches a rolling boil.

Immerse the green beans in the boiling water for a couple of minutes until they are almost cooked but still firm.

Remove the green beans from the pot and place them in a bowl to rest.

Prepare the salad dressing by combining extra virgin olive oil and a dash of red wine vinegar in a bowl.

Add Greek oregano and fresh garlic to the dressing, adjusting the garlic to taste.

Stir the dressing until well combined.

Drizzle the dressing over the green beans and mix gently.

Place the salad in the fridge to chill for a couple of hours to allow the beans to absorb the dressing flavors.

Serve the salad, optionally plating it individually and topping with almonds.
