DIANNE'S SOUTHWESTERN CORNBREAD SALAD



Dianne's Southwestern Cornbread Salad image

This cornbread salad takes the layered salad to a whole new level. Everyone has their favorite cold layered salad that they make for family gatherings or office parties but give this cornbread salad a try. It is very user-friendly - make it one time and you never need to look at the recipe again. Plus, it is easily adaptable to whatever ingredients you have on hand. The recipe uses a packaged cornbread mix, but many readers make their favorite cornbread recipe, or use leftover cornbread. Add a layer of leftover holiday turkey or ham and make this a main dish salad. If you make this in the spring or summer, toss in some cold, boiled shrimp or a layer of pulled pork. Add different toppings and garnishes, such as diced avocado, cilantro, or limes, to make it a Mexican cornbread salad with unique flavors. This salad gets better if you let it chill 2 or more hours, so this is an ideal make ahead recipe.

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
3 cups cubed day-old Skillet Cornbread (1-inch cubes), recipes follows
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 clove garlic, grated
1 pound collard greens, julienned
One 15-ounce can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
1 cup jarred sliced roasted red peppers, drained
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
8 ounces mozzarella pearls, drained
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup whole milk
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons shortening, melted

Steps:

  • For the cornbread croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Brush a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Gently arrange the Skillet Cornbread cubes on the buttered baking sheet and drizzle with the remaining melted butter. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Do not toss the cornbread or it will crumble. Bake, gently turning the cubes with tongs halfway through, until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow the cornbread croutons to cool completely.
  • For the dressing: Add the olive oil, vinegar, pepper, honey, salt and garlic to a mason jar and shake.
  • For the salad: In a large bowl, combine the collards, black-eyed peas, red peppers, tomatoes, toasted cornbread croutons and dressing and toss gently. Add the mozzarella pearls to the bowl (setting aside a handful for garnishing) and toss them in with the rest of the salad.
  • Arrange the salad on a platter. Using tongs, bring some of the croutons to the top of the salad to garnish. Arrange the remaining mozzarella pearls around the salad and garnish with the basil leaves.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Stir together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl until combined.
  • Stir together the buttermilk, whole milk and egg in a bowl or measuring cup with a fork. Add the baking soda and stir again, making sure it is evenly dissolved. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork until combined. Slowly add 1/4 cup of the melted shortening to the batter, stirring until just combined.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons shortening over medium heat in a cast-iron skillet. Pour the batter into the hot skillet--it should sizzle. Spread with a spatula to even out the surface. Cook on stovetop for 1 minute. Transfer to the oven and bake until the top is golden brown and the edges are crispy, 20 to 25 minutes.

CORNBREAD PANZANELLA



Cornbread Panzanella image

When serving a crowd, I'm always thinking of recipes that can be fully or partially made ahead. That's why this panzanella is so great. The traditional bread salad was a way to use up stale or leftover bread. I thought it would be fun to add a Southern spin and substitute day-old cornbread and toast it in bacon drippings. Sounds yummy right? Well, it is!

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

3 slices thick-cut bacon
Day-old Cornbread, recipe follows, cut into 1-inch cubes
Vegetable oil, for the pan, optional
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds heirloom tomatoes, cut into bite-size pieces (about 6 cups)
1 cup fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped, plus more for garnish, optional
2 tablespoons capers
1 English cucumber, seeded and cut into half-moons (about 2 cups)
1 small red onion, halved and very thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
Vegetable shortening or cooking spray, for the pan
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup plain cornmeal
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup whole buttermilk
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, reserving the drippings in the skillet, then chop.
  • Add half of the Cornbread cubes to the hot bacon drippings in the skillet and brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and let cool. Add vegetable oil to the skillet if it becomes dry, then brown the remaining cornbread cubes. Let cool.
  • Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard and garlic in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes, basil, capers, cucumber and onion. Toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, or serve right away.
  • Just before serving, add the cornbread cubes and bacon and toss. Garnish with additional basil, if desired.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch baking pan with vegetable shortening or cooking spray.
  • Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, butter, vegetable oil and egg in a separate bowl. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until the dry ingredients are moistened. (The batter will be lumpy and thick.)
  • Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
