Add the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey and salt and pepper in a large bowl, whisk until well blended. Slowly whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil until well combined. Preheat the grill to medium heat. Toss the potatoes with enough olive oil to coat and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until brown in spots, turning once or twice, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the grill and toss with some of the vinaigrette. Mix together the potatoes, green beans, feta cheese, olives and oregano in a bowl until well combined. Add more vinaigrette and toss until well mixed, season with salt and black pepper if needed. Sprinkle the parsley leaves over the salad. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
