For ease I simply grate 1/2 head of cabbage and dice 3 - 5 stalks of celery. You can use light or dark red kidney beans. The dark provides a nicer color contrast. Bacon bits are more convenient, but real bacon is yummy! Add bacon separately to servings and leftovers will keep much better. This is a different slaw whose recipe I found years ago in grad school. My family likes it. You can do ahead by prepping the cabbage & celery, drain the beans, & prep the dressing in containers. Lightly toss before serving. I have not tried to lighten the mayo.
