Incredible Cornbread Salad image

This makes a BIG Salad ! I like to assemble this in a family - size Glad Container with the snap lid. This makes it handy for traveling and storing the leftovers...if there is any ! This recipe can be cut in half, but for picnics and family reunions, I HAVE to make the full recipe. Hope you enjoy !

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

CORNBREAD
1 1/2 c cornbread mix
1 1/2 c milk or buttermilk
1 egg
1/4 c canola oil
DRESSING
1 pkg hidden valley ranch dressing mix
1/2 c mayonaise
4 c sour cream
REMAINING INGREDIENTS
2 can(s) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
2 can(s) whole kernel corn, drained
1 1/2 c green pepper, chopped and divided
1 small onion chopped (optional)
3 c roma tomatoes, diced and divided
2 c cheddar cheese, shredded
2 pkg real bacon bits

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix ingredients for the cornbread and pour into a well greased 9 inch baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Turn out onto a plate and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • 2. In medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dressing. Mix until smooth and no lumps are present. Place in the refrigerator to chill until ready to assemble the salad.
  • 3. To Assemble the Salad: Use a large dish that is at least 4-5 inches deep. A triffle dish makes a really nice presentation. Start by crumbling 1/2 of the cake of cornbread into the dish. Next layer the following ingredients in this order: Pinto beans, corn, 3/4 cup green pepper, 1/2 onion and 1 1/2 cups of the roma tomatoes. Spread 2 1/4 cups dressing evenly over the tomatoes, followed by 1 cup shredded cheese, and 1 package bacon bits. Repeat the layering in the exact order to finish all the ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
