   1       lb           Green beans
   1       sm           Red onion, very
                        Thinly sliced
     1/3   c            Finely minced parsley
   2       tb           Minced fresh mint
     1/3   c            Coarsely shredded Parmesan
   3       tb           Olive oil
     1/4   ts           Salt
     1/4   ts           Freshly ground black
                        Pepper
   1       t            White wine vinegar.

  1.  Bring a large pan of water to the boil.  Trim the
  green beans,
    cut in halves or thirds if long.  Put the beans into
  the boiling
    water and time about five minutes, or until tender.
  Drain and rinse
    with cold water until completely chilled.  Pat dry
  with paper
    towels.
  
  2.  Soak the red onion in cold water 5 minutes to
  reduce the acidity.
    Drain and pat dry.  Combine with the green beans,
  the parsley,
    mint, Parmesan, olive oil, salt and pepper.  Mix
  well.  The salad
    can be refrigerated at this point.
  
  3.  Serve the salad at room temperature.  Just before
  serving, stir in
    the vinegar.
