    Cook the 4 slices bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels, then crumble when cool.

    Rinse and drain the 1 can white beans. Thinly slice the 0.5 small red onion. Core and slice the 1 large pear into thin wedges.

  3. Step 3

    In a large bowl, whisk the 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Add the beans, pear, onion, and most of the bacon to the dressing. Toss gently to coat.

  5. Step 5

    Top with the remaining bacon and serve immediately.
