Boil or steam the green beans till tender, testing to ensure the degree of doneness you like, do not overcook. Drain beans and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Add to bowl with all other ingredients except vinegar and toss completely to blend. Refrigerate, great if it sits for several hours or overnight. It will keep several days in your refrigerator.
