Cornbread Salad
HB-13382 · Hand-built original
A classic Southern salad of cubed cornbread tossed with tomatoes, pinto beans, corn, bacon, green onions and Colby Jack under a creamy ranch dressing. It needs a couple of hours in the fridge for the flavors to settle.
Main ingredient: bacon
Ingredients
- 3 cups cornbread, cubed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 15 oz pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 oz corn, drained
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1½ cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
- 1 jalapeño, diced (optional)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 package ranch dressing powder
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
Method
- Cut cooled cornbread into 1-inch cubes and measure 3 cups into a large bowl.
- Add the cherry tomatoes, pinto beans, corn, bacon, green onions, Colby Jack and the jalapeño, if using, to the cornbread.
- Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch dressing powder and lime juice together in a medium bowl until the dressing is smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is lightly coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours before serving, so the cornbread soaks up the dressing.
