                        purple string beans
   1      large         Vidalia onion -- sliced thin
     3/4  cup           Cider vinegar
   1      tablespoon    Balsamic vinegar

Wash and trim the string beans, cutting them into 1 inch pieces on the diagonal. 
 Boil in salted water until barely tender. Plunge them into a large bowl
 of ice water to prevent further cooking. When thoroughly cool, drain and
 pat dry with paper towels. Combine the beans and onions in a large bowl.  
Add the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Stir in the olive oil.  
Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve at once or refrigerate overnight.
