Using a pot with a steamer attachment, add 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add your green beans to the steamer basket, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and steam for about 3 minutes; until the green beans begin to soften, but still have a bite to them.

Drain the green beans and immediately run them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Place the green beans in a shallow serving dish. Add the tomatoes, red onion, and olives. Toss everything together with a decent drizzle of olive oil, red wine vinegar, chili flakes, and a pinch of Maldon sea salt.

Add the basil leaves and gently combine- being careful not to bruise them.

Top with a pinch of chili flakes and Maldon sea salt. Serve.
