Sometime back, after posting on Facebook that I had made this Texas Summertime Cornbread Salad, I had several request for the recipe. I have made this recipe with different variations, but this is the one I created for my family. It makes a large salad which is great for family gatherings, and with this being the last weekend of the summer, I had to make it. It seems like that I only make it in the spring and summer, but it is a great salad to make any time.
I make a 9-inch skillet of cornbread and use half of it in the salad and eat the rest with butter, yum! Some people like a lot of cornbread in their salad and some not so much. You decide how much to put in your salad
.
Texas Summertime Cornbread Salad
1 (9" skillet) cornbread cubed
2 small heads romaine lettuce, chopped
2 large tomatoes chopped
1 (15.5-ounce) can red beans, rinsed and drained (pinto beans)
1 (15.5-ounce) can sweet corn drained
1 (8-ounce) package shredded cheddar cheese
1 medium purple onion diced
8 ounces Bacon Ranch Dressing
4 green onions thinly sliced (optional)
Layer a large bowl with half each of cubed cornbread, lettuce, and next five ingredients; spoon half of dressing evenly over top. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients and dressing. Garnish with green onions is optional. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. Before serving toss gently or serve layered.
This looks delightful. So colorful and bright!! Sounds like something that I could just eat and eat and keep eating!!

That sounds like a great salad!
ReplyDeleteI love your pink and green comments. However did you do that! It is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous looking salad. I would love to serve it this next week as we go to Lake Powell. What flavor combinations it has going on and it is really eye catching too. So glad I hopped over from FF!
This would even be great to serve on the side with chili.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to Fat Camp Friday, enjoy your weekend and see you next time! http://bit.ly/mTxy7l
Great recipe! It looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing:) Hope to see on my blog:)
ReplyDeleteHi :-> I followed your link here from 'this Chick cooks'.
ReplyDeleteThere are three main things I like about your salad -
first, I like that you keep repeating the contents over and over again in lots of layers. I hate when some people get the good toppings and all you get is the other stuff.
Secondly, I like how much eye appeal it has.
And thirdly, the combination of the listed ingredients sounds delicious!
gonna have to try this one...
I have never thought of adding cornbread! Clever!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking it up to Made it on Monday!

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice blog you have ! And the salad is so colorful and yummy looking! I want to make it but the link for the cornbread recipe is not working for me, or may be the problem comes from blogger or my computer?
When I click on the link it sends me over to blogger.com sign in page, I'm entering my user name and password but it sends me back to the log in page.
