Instructions: Put parsley, basil, oregano and vinegar in a large bowl and let stand for 10-20 minutes. Mix in onion and garlic and let stand for another half hour to an hour.

Rinse green beans and snap off stem ends. Drop them into boiling water just until they are beginning to soften. Drain, and add to bowl of herbs while still hot, and mix. Let the beans marinate for at least one hour. Stir occasionally.

Serve at room temperature, adding the olive oil, salt and pepper immediately before serving.
