Cole Slaw With Beans and Bacon

Description: A friend I worked with long ago brought this to a potluck. We begged her for the recipe, but she was reluctant to give it up. We wore her down and she finally gave in. This is a different type of cole slaw that really makes a pretty dish. I love the variety of textures and flavors with the beans, cabbage and bacon.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 1/3 cup diced onion
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• 15 1/2 ounces red kidney beans, drained
• 4 slices crisply cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

1. Lightly mix together the first 6 ingredients.
2. Whisk together the 5 dressing ingredients and pour this over the salad mixture.
3. Toss all lightly and serve.
