Make   -   (1-1/2 hr - 25 min work)
  1. Slice GREEN BEANS diagonally about 1-1/2 inches long. Blanch in lightly salted boiling water until just tender - do not over-cook. Refresh in cold water and drain well.
  2. Slice MUSHROOMS thin, tumble with Lemon Juice and set aside.
  3. Quarter ONION lengthwise and slice thin crosswise.
  4. Crush GARLIC and chop very fine.
  5. Mix Beans, Mushrooms, Onions and Garlic. Tumble with Olive Oil, then toss together All Items.
  6. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
NOTES:

  1. Wine Vinegar:

      White wine vinegar is appropriate. The pattern recipe calls for the 4 to 1 ratio of Oil to Vinegar that is standard in France. Here in Southern California that ratio is considered way too oily - a 2 to 1 ratio is about the most we can tolerate here, so that's what I've called for.
  2. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
