1/2 cup minced green pepper
1/2 minced onion
1/2 cup salad oil
1/2 cup cider vinegar

Day before, if desired, drain beans. Place in a glass bowl; add green peppers and onions. Mix oil and vinegar with sugar, salt and pepper. Pour over bean mixture. Mix well.
Refrigerate, covered, until served.

It is better if marinated until next day.
