Red beans and rice, a Louisiana classic, inspired this salad. Smoky bacon, fruity cider vinegar and an entire bunch of scallions add loads of flavor, while red bell pepper and celery bring sweetness and crunch. Straight from the can, beans are bland, but heating them with seasonings ensures tastiness on the inside as well as on the outside because as the beans cool, they soak up lots of flavor. Serve the salad at room temperature.

Simply Delicious
Classic Milk Street recipe. Simple ingredients that come together to make a flavorful elevated dish. The pop from the vinegar is exactly what this dish needs. So simple, it's perfect.

Simple and yummy
Super simple and a great way to mimic this classic dish. The vinegar adds wonderful tang to the delightful dish. Adding this into the rotation.
