Moms Bean N Bacon Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Drain, cool, and crumble.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mayonnaise, and sugar.
• 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.

Steps:

• Heat a small skillet over medium high heat. Add a drizzle of EVOO and the bacon. Crisp the bacon then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Add dried chickpeas and reduce heat to medium. Cook until toasted and lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Season chickpeas with salt and crushed pepper flakes and cool.
• Place greens in a salad bowl. Whisk together the mustard, vinegar and about 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Add bacon and chickpeas to the salad and toss to coat evenly.

Steps:

• Wash the beans and remove and discard any damaged ones or any foreign material. Place the beans in a pot with the cold water and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Let cool to lukewarm. (There should be only a little water remaining.)
• Place the lardons in a saucepan and saute over low heat, covered, for about 8 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 5 seconds. Add the contents of the saucepan, fat and all, to the beans with their remaining cooking liquid. Add the parsley, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper to tastes and mix well. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat a large pan and dry-fry the bacon for about 2 mins each side until crispy. Remove and drain on kitchen paper. Keep the fat from the bacon in the pan, add the vinegar and bubble for a few secs before tipping in the peppers and beans. Season and heat through. Toss together the spinach, beans, peppers and bacon, then drizzle with a dressing of your choice.
