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.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing next time.
