Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat a grill or large grill pan to high.

   Put the beans in a large bowl and toss with the vegetable oil. Using tongs, arrange in a single layer on the grill and cook until lightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes.

   Whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, harissa, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.

6. 6

   Add the warm beans, toss, and serve warm or at room temperature.
