Bean and Bacon Salad

My father used to enjoy making this when we were kids. Now I make it for potlucks, and it's a huge crowd pleaser!

• 1 ½ cups shredded cabbage
• ½ cup diced celery
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• ⅓ cup finely chopped onion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 dash ground black pepper

Directions :

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mayonnaise, and sugar.
3. In a large bowl, mix the bacon, kidney beans, cabbage, celery, parsley, and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the vinegar dressing mixture over the salad, and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
