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.

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!

- 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:
Prep Ingredients: Before starting, ensure all your ingredients are measured and prepped. This will help streamline the cooking process and prevent any scrambling. Cornbread Selection: Choose a good quality cornbread that's slightly sweet and moist. It should be firm enough to hold its shape in the salad. Layer Carefully: When assembling the salad, layer the ingredients evenly and don't overmix. This will help keep the distinct flavors and textures of each component intact. Chill Before Serving: After assembling the salad, chill it for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to set, making it easier to serve. Garnish Generously: Before serving, garnish the salad with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, and a sprinkle of paprika or chili powder. This adds a touch of color and enhances the overall flavor.Conclusion:
