When we were little, my father used to like doing this. Now I make it for potlucks, and everyone loves it!

The flavors came together in a amazing and tasty way! It was a different flavor than I have had before, but such a great surprise. It would be perfect with a bbq dish. I added one minced banana pepper from our garden and used less bacon. But I’m sure it would be perfect just as written.
My new go to salad. Delish. I doubled the cabbage, used cannellini beans and decreased the sugar. My husband loved it.
Excellent, very tasty, and feels so healthy eating it.
This is really, really good…Like a new twist on cole slaw. Great dish for the upcoming summer. I will definitely be making this again.
This was fantastic! Perfect as written.
Really good! I omitted the onion because I dislike them, but otherwise made as written. Next time (and there will be a next time) I’ll add more cabbage. Probably about 2.5 – 3 cups. The ratio of cabbage to bean to bacon was a bit off in my opinion. Thanks for sharing, we enjoyed it!
Mmmm! Wonderful! I only had half the bacon called for, but it was still great. Next time I think I might add more cabbage; there’s plenty of dressing for it.
This is very similar to what my Mom made when I was a kid with the exception of the shredded cabbage. We always had ours with some chopped cheddar, so I did add that to the salad. This is somewhat between a standard bean salad and cole slaw. This was a step back in the past, and a tasty one, too.
Great summer (or any time) side dish.
Very good. I used real bacon bits instead of fried bacon
I don’t usually like food like this. Cold salads are really not my thing. Everyone at my house (myself included) loved this bean salad. Super tasty!
Very good. The beans make it very filling and give it an interesting texture.
My hubby does not like onion so I left that out and it was still good. Easy recipe with pre-cooked bacon!
Great recipe with the taste combinations. We had an overabundance of garden cabbage this year and were growing weary of it. It was a great fresh, cold cabbage recipe.
Like a kidney bean coleslaw! This recipe is quick and delicious. I did however change a few of the quantities. I used 3 strips of thick cut bacon instead of the 10 strips this recipe called for and reduced the celery to 1/3 cup. Thanks for sharing!
We really liked this, but I thought you could taste the bacon a little too much. I will definitely try it again, but with 5 slices instead of 10.
This salad was great and very filling, it was all I needed for dinner and it kept me full for several hours! I ate it right away and it still tasted amazing! Used dried parsley instead and it still had a nice flavour.
This was a great salad. Everyone enjoyed it. I did saute the onion in a little olive oil (my bacon was pre-cooked and just heated up and crisped in the microwave) because I can’t have raw onion anymore, but it was delicious. A nice change from the common three bean salad. Didn’t have celery on hand today so I substituted with grated carrots. I used about 2 table. mayonnaise instead of 1/2 cup. 1/2 cup would have been way too much mayo for our tastes. As it was, I might cut down to 1 table. next time.
VERY Good. I was looking for something to help use up my left over shredded cabbage, and man this was well worth it. They were out of parsley at the store (I know, like you would expect the store to be out of parsley) so I used cilantro instead, which also gave it a nice flavor! Thanks so much, I will munch on this salad for the next few days!
We really like the flavors in this salad. Nice blend of tangy and savory.
This is a beautiful, easy refreshing salad. It was easy to execute. I used red and white kideney beans for visual interest. Its delicious!
