1 lb fresh string beans    

1 large tomato chopped

1 small bunch of scallions cut diagonally

½ cup of oil

¼ cup wine vinegar (I have used apple cider vinegar)

1 ½ T of soy sauce   

½ tsp of sugar

½ tsp of ginger root (keep in a freezer)

1 clove of minced garlic

1/8 tsp salt                

¼ tsp pepper

Trim the stems off the beans. Steam lightly, until crisp and tender. Combine in bowl with scallions and tomato. In a small bowl whisk together remaining ingredients. Pour over vegetables and mix well. Chill until serving time. Might be necessary to drain excess fluids before serving.
