You cook and peel the beets and cut into thin strips, put in large bowl. Shred the cabbage, pour boiling water over it, let stand a few minutes, then run cold water over it and drain, add to bowl. Chop the green beans, boil until cooked, add to bowl. Boil the vinegar for 5 minutes, add to bowl, toss. Add remainder of ingredients, chill well. Best made a day ahead.
