If you overcook the cornbread, it will become tough and chewy. - Use a variety of vegetables: Cornbread salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some good options include diced tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, and celery. - Choose a dressing that complements the salad: A simple vinaigrette or ranch dressing is a good choice for cornbread salad. You can also use a more flavorful dressing, such as a honey mustard or barbecue sauce. - Serve the salad immediately: Cornbread salad is best served fresh. If you make it ahead of time, the cornbread will start to get soggy.
