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)

1/2 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.

Tips:

  • If you don't have fresh corn on the cob, you can use frozen or canned corn. Just be sure to drain and rinse the corn before using it.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the corn kernels off the cob. This will help to prevent the kernels from becoming mushy.
  • If you don't have a grill or an open flame, you can roast the corn in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and roast the corn on the cob for 15-20 minutes, or until the kernels are slightly charred.
  • Feel free to experiment with different variations of this salad. For example, you could add black beans, avocado, or chopped red onion.
