Bacon Cornbread Salad image

This recipe was shared with me by a dear friend many years ago. It has been a favorite ever since. As I've tweaked it to my own taste, you may find it interesting to do the same. Some like to use ranch dressing instead of mayo, or dill pickles instead of sweet. Just as with a tossed salad, you may add your favorite ingredients like broccoli, green peppers, sweet onions, or olives. Have fun!

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 (8.5 ounce) packages corn bread mix (such as Jiffy®)
2 eggs
⅔ cup milk
¾ cup crumbled cooked bacon
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
½ cup chopped sweet pickles
¾ cup mayonnaise

  • Mix corn bread mix, eggs, and milk together in a bowl until combined with a few lumps; pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool and crumble into a large bowl.

This salad was a disappointment. The cornbread croutons were soggy and the dressing was bland.

This salad was just okay. The cornbread croutons were a bit too dry, and the dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste.
