Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 batch of my famous cornbread, baked and cooled
6 cups shredded romaine lettuce, about 2 romaine hearts
1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
4-6 green onions, chopped
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 large tomato, diced (or 3 roma tomatoes)
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 can corn, drained (or 1.5 cups frozen corn, thawed)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 heaping tablespoon ranch dressing mix
1-2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • When the cornbread is cool, remove it from the pan and cut into 1- to 1.5-inch cubes.
  • Add the lettuce to a large bowl, and top with the cornbread, pinto beans, green onion, cheese, tomato, bell pepper, and corn.
  • In another bowl, add the mayonnaise, sour cream, and ranch mix. Stir to combine. Add enough milk to make a dressing that is pourable, but still on the thick side.
  • When you are ready to serve, toss the salad well and drizzle with half the dressing. Serve right away with the other half of the dressing on the side so that people can add more as they like.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornbread: Use a moist, well-made cornbread that is not too dense. Day-old cornbread works well, as it will hold together better in the salad.
  • Use fresh, ripe vegetables: The vegetables in the salad should be fresh, ripe, and flavorful. This will help to ensure that the salad is both delicious and nutritious.
  • Don't overdress the salad: Cornbread salad is a simple salad that doesn't need a lot of dressing. A light vinaigrette or a simple olive oil and vinegar dressing is all that is needed.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Cornbread salad is best served immediately after it is made. The cornbread will start to get soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Cornbread salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is a great way to use up leftover cornbread, and it is a salad that everyone will enjoy.
