For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the dressing. If you prefer a tangier salad, increase the amount of vinegar slightly. Feel free to substitute other types of beans, such as cannellini or Great Northern beans. To make it ahead, prepare all ingredients separately and combine just before serving to prevent the cabbage from becoming soggy. Consider adding a sprinkle of toasted pecans or walnuts for added crunch.

A delightful and unexpectedly addictive salad that marries the salty, smoky goodness of bacon with the earthy heartiness of kidney beans, all brightened by a tangy-sweet dressing. Perfect for picnics, barbecues, or a light lunch!
