Some time back, after posting on Facebook that I had made this Southern Cornbread Salad, I had several request for the recipe.
I have made this recipe with different variations, but this is the one I created for my family.
This cornbread salad had a lot of vegetables in it and is tossed with Bacon Ranch dressing. It makes a large salad that is great for family gatherings or potlucks.
You might say it is the Southern version of a Panzanella Salad.
With it being the last weekend of the summer, it seemed fitting to make it.
I seem to make it mainly in the spring and summer, but it is a great salad to make anytime.

I make a 9-inch skillet of cornbread and use half of it in the salad and eat the rest with butter, yum!
Some people like a lot of cornbread in their salad and some not so much. You decide how much to put in your salad.
Hope you get to make this gorgeous salad at your next gathering. Enjoy!

That sounds like a great salad!
ReplyDeleteI love your pink and green comments. However did you do that! It is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous looking salad. I would love to serve it this next week as we go to Lake Powell. What flavor combinations it has going on and it is really eye catching too. So glad I hopped over from FF!
This would even be great to serve on the side with chili.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to Fat Camp Friday, enjoy your weekend and see you next time! http://bit.ly/mTxy7l
Great recipe! It looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing:) Hope to see on my blog:)
ReplyDeleteHi :-> I followed your link here from 'this Chick cooks'.
ReplyDeleteThere are three main things I like about your salad -
first, I like that you keep repeating the contents over and over again in lots of layers. I hate when some people get the good toppings and all you get is the other stuff.
Secondly, I like how much eye appeal it has.
And thirdly, the combination of the listed ingredients sounds delicious!
gonna have to try this one...
I have never thought of adding cornbread! Clever!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking it up to Made it on Monday!

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice blog you have ! And the salad is so colorful and yummy looking! I want to make it but the link for the cornbread recipe is not working for me, or may be the problem comes from blogger or my computer?
When I click on the link it sends me over to blogger.com sign in page, I'm entering my user name and password but it sends me back to the log in page.

I tried your recipe. I liked the idea of it, but our cornbread wasn't the best. =)

ReplyDeletethis looks yummy!

ReplyDeleteThank you Kathryn...and thank you for stopping CWK!
DeleteI've never thought of putting corn bread in salad! What a delicious idea!
ReplyDeleteYou will love it...Thank you for stopping by CWK!
DeleteVisiting from Rattlebridge Farm blog link party...and I will be back. :-) Sheila
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia! Happy you stopped for a visit....poke around as often as you like :)
DeleteI have had this a few times at a church potluck. I had heard it was good, but couldn't figure out what the big deal was... until I tried it. Wow, it was really good! :)
ReplyDeleteCorn bread salad is new to me! All the ingredients look great, I will have to try it out! I love you layered presentation as well.
ReplyDeleteThe recipe looks delicious! Can you make it the night before you want to serve it?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment. Sorry, I'm just now seeing it. For some reason my comments went to spam. If you want to make this salad the night before, is to chop the vegetables, dice the cornbread, drain the beans and corn and put in separate containers and put them in the fridge. Then assemble it and place in the refrigerator up to 4 hours before time to serve. Hope this helps, thanks for stopping by and again sorry for just now responding.
