1 cup diced green bell pepper
1 cup sliced green onions

1/2 cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley -- (or 2 teaspoons dried parsley)
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons vinegar -- or lemon juice
2 cloves minced garlic -- (about 1 teaspoon)

1/2 teaspoon sugar -- (optional)
