How to Make Bean And Bacon Salad
- Cook 6 slices of bacon until crisp. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, and 1 tablespoon of white sugar until well combined.
- In a large bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 2 cups shredded green cabbage, 1 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 cup chopped red onion.
- Season the bean and bacon mixture generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the mayonnaise dressing over the vegetable and bacon mixture. Toss gently to thoroughly coat all ingredients.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. This step also helps the salad chill for a refreshing summer experience.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
