BACON CORNBREAD SALAD
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!

Tips:
- For the ultimate cornbread salad, use fresh, ripe corn. If you don't have access to fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will not be as good.
- When choosing tomatoes, look for ones that are ripe and juicy. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Use a sharp knife to dice the vegetables. This will help to ensure that the vegetables are cut evenly and that the salad is visually appealing.
- When making the dressing, be sure to whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined. This will help to ensure that the dressing is smooth and creamy.
- Taste the salad before serving and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or vinegar.
Conclusion:
Cornbread salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet and savory flavors, cornbread salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or picnic.
