1 bunch Dill, rough chop

Preparation:
Prepare grill, to medium high heat. Toss green beans with 2 T olive oil, salt and pepper. Drizzle tomatoes, scallions and onion with remaining olive oil, salt and pepper.
When grill is hot, shake off excess oil off green beans and gently place on grill, watch 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 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.
