Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh corn on the cob. If fresh corn is not available, you can use frozen corn kernels, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Be sure to grease the baking dish before pouring in the cornbread mixture. This will help prevent the cornbread from sticking.
- Do not overmix the cornbread batter. Overmixing will result in a tough cornbread.
- Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cornbread.
- Let the cornbread cool slightly before layering it with the salad ingredients. This will help prevent the cornbread from becoming soggy.
- Use your favorite salad dressing for the salad layer. A vinaigrette or ranch dressing are both good choices.
- Add your favorite toppings to the salad, such as shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, or crumbled bacon.
