CORNBREAD CONFETTI SALAD

This recipe is great for potlucks because it makes such a huge quantity. It is kind of difficult to scale down because you would end up with partial cans of ingredients. I took this to a church potluck, and I actually had men coming up to me and asking to give their wives the recipe! The recipe came from Taste of Home.

CORNBREAD CONFETTI SALAD



Cornbread Confetti Salad image

I had this today at a luncheon and had to have the recipe. The lady that brought it had all ready xeroxed copies because she knew that she would be handing it out for requests. This is delicious. She was not sure of the servings so I guessed. It filled a large bowl. I also guessed on the size of the envelope for the dry ranch dressing as it was not given in the recipe. Preparation time does not count cooling time for corn bread.

Slather this cornbread with Dried Chile Pepper Butter.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 shallots, peeled and chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 large eggs
2 1/4 cups buttermilk
8 ounces any mixture fresh hot or sweet peppers cut into 1/8-inch dice to yield 3/4 cup
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
Vegetable-oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 4 clean 13 3/4-ounce cans with cooking spray. Set aside. (If using a skillet, spray with cooking spray.) Melt the butter in skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots, and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat until soft, 3 to 4 minutes; set aside.
  • Place flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, baking powder, and baking soda in bowl. Whisk briefly to mix. Make a well; add eggs to center. Whisk eggs into dry mixture. Add buttermilk. Combine. Mixture will be thick.
  • Stir in the cooked shallots and raw peppers. Melt the vegetable shortening in a small pan over medium heat. Pour hot shortening into the cornbread mixture. Stir well to combine. Spoon the batter evenly into prepared containers or skillet.
  • Bake until golden brown and cornbread is pulling away from sides of cans or skillet, 30 to 40 minutes; a cake tester inserted into the center should come out clean. Transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool enough to touch; gently run a knife around rim, and unmold. Slice crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Serve warm with Dried Chile-Pepper Butter.

Tips:

  • Use fresh and flavorful ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Look for ripe vegetables, tender herbs, and freshly baked cornbread.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A light vinaigrette or dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the vegetables and cornbread without overpowering them.
  • Add some crunch: The addition of toasted nuts, seeds, or croutons adds a nice textural contrast to the salad.
  • Make it ahead of time: This salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance, making it a great option for busy weeknights or potlucks.

Conclusion:

Cornbread confetti salad is a delicious, refreshing, and versatile salad that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a side dish.
