1 lb. fresh green beans
1/2 med. onion
1 sm. clove garlic
1/3 c. fresh-grated Parmesan cheese
6 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. white wine vinegar with tarragon
1/2 tsp. salt
Fresh ground black pepper

Wash the beans, snip off the ends, and cut them French style. Drop them into boiling salted water and cook until just tender. Drain.

Finely chop half of an onion and mince a clove of garlic. Combine the beans with the other ingredients and mix well. Chill and serve with tomatoes, olives, and other fresh or marinated garnishes of your choice. Serves 4 to 6.
