To retain the colour and crispness of the beans, make this salad as close to the time of your get-together as possible.

Ingredients

    12 oz (375 g) each green and yellow beans
    2 tbsp (25 mL) chopped fresh oregano
    2 tbsp (25 mL) extra-virgin olive_oil
    2 tbsp (25 mL) wine_vinegar
    2 tsp (10 mL) grainy mustard
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
    Half red onion, thinly sliced

Preparation

Fill bowl with ice water. In large pot of boiling salted water, blanch green beans until tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer to ice water; stir until cold. Drain on towel-lined plate. Repeat with yellow beans. (Make-ahead: Wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.)

In large bowl, whisk together oregano, oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper. Add onion and green and yellow beans; toss to combine.
