LAYERED CORNBREAD SALAD



Layered Cornbread Salad image

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.

  • 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.

SOUTHERN LAYERED CORNBREAD SALAD



Southern Layered Cornbread Salad image

When we were showing our Scottish Terriers our group would gather after our turns in the ring to have a potluck, right there in the grooming area. This salad was one of the most popular dishes, and was requested often!! It involves a bit of prep work, but if you are pushed for time you can buy pre-chopped peppers, celery, and...

Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 box jiffy corn bread mix, made according to package directions, in 8" square pan; crumbled
12 oz peppercorn ranch salad dressing
1/3 c grated parmesan cheese
1/3 c buttermilk
1/2 c mayonnaise
1 head large romaine, rough chopped
2-1/2 c smoked turkey, cubed (optional; if i use i buy from the deli)
1 large yellow bell pepper, diced
1 large red or orange bell pepper, diced
1 medium red onion, diced
2 large tomatoes, seeded and diced
3 stalks large celery, diced
2 c shredded swiss cheese (8 ounces)
1 lb bacon, diced and cooked, drained well
2 green onions, diced (garnish)

Steps:

  • 1. This salad needs a very large bowl. If you have a glass bowl it will make a very pretty addition to the table!
  • 2. Mix the salad dressing, mayonnaise, buttermilk, and parmesan. Blend well. (If you cannot find Peppercorn Ranch you can use traditional ranch and add about 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to your taste)
  • 3. Start the layers with 1/3 of the cornbread; add 1/2 of all the other ingredients, (except the green onion) in this order: romaine; turkey; yellow pepper; orange pepper, onion, tomato; celery; cheese; bacon; 1/3 of the dressing mixture.
  • 4. Repeat layers, ending with cornbread, and the final 1/3 of the dressing mixture.
  • 5. Cover tightly; refrigerate at least 4 hours, or over night. Prior to serving, add more buttermilk if the top appears too dry; garnish with the green onion.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, sweet corn. If fresh corn is unavailable, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the layers as directed and then cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Before serving, let the salad come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  • For a vegetarian version of the salad, omit the bacon.
  • For a more colorful salad, add some chopped red onion or bell pepper to the corn layer.
  • If you don't have a box grater, you can use a food processor to grate the cheese.
  • To make the salad more festive, use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the bread rounds.

Conclusion:

Cornbread layered salad is a classic summer dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet corn, creamy avocado, crunchy bacon, and tangy dressing, it's the perfect salad to serve at your next picnic, potluck, or barbecue.
