Steps:
- In bowl, combine all ingredients. Refrigerate 3-4 hours before serving. Fun Fact: A tomato is technically a fruit because it is a ripened ovary of a plant. But for trade purposes, a tomato is considered a vegetable. The identity crisis stems from an 1893 Supreme Court ruling that classified the tomato as a vegetable so it could be taxed under tariff law.

LAYERED CORNBREAD SALAD
This beautiful, delicious salad can be made the day before, is a little different, and serves 25+ people. Don't let the long list of ingredients scare you. This is VERY easy. But, do NOT leave out the cornbread. It's my favorite dish to take to potluck or covered dish suppers - and there is never any left! For vegetarians, omit the real bacon bits. Vary the ingredients to suit your taste and ingredients on-hand.

- Place 1/2 of cornbread crumbles in bottom of very large serving bowl.
- Top with pinto beans, tomatoes (1/2 of these), corn, red and green bell peppers (1/2 of these), chilies, and cheese.
- Repeat layers as follows: Romaine lettuce, cornbread crumbles, spring onions, green peas (uncooked), cranberry beans, and remaining red and green bell peppers.
- Spoon salad dressing over top of salad and spread to cover top of bowl.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
- Sprinkle cheese with tomatoes and bacon bits (optional).
- Tightly cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 24 hours before serving.
- It's better if it sits at least 4-6 hours for flavors to blend.
- Play with the layers and substitute for anything you don't like-- just be sure to keep the cornbread layers and salad dressing on top.
- NOTE: If you add a lot of Optional ingredients, use more salad dressing accordingly, so you have enough to lightly coat salad when it is tossed as people spoon to the bottom to get a serving.
- Vegetarian Note: Jiffy corn bread is NOT Vegetarian due to animal shortening as a primary ingredient. Use another brand that is.
