Most meals benefit from something green - especially in the party season. We all tend to overindulge on just one too many slices of ham, turkey or Christmas pudding.

Ingredients

300ml olive oil
3 medium spanish onions, finely sliced
60ml red wine vinegar
Sea salt
Freshly ground white pepper
2kg green beans, topped and tailed
750g cherry tomatoes, cut in half
3 oranges, segmented
1 lemon
1 cup pine nuts, toasted

Method

Heat olive oil and gently cook onions, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and add vinegar. Reserve. Cook the green beans in boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Refresh in iced water. Drain and place in a large bowl. Add tomatoes, orange segments and the finely grated rind of the lemon. Toss with onions, vinegar and pine nuts and adjust seasoning.
