Southwest Cornbread Salad

Potlucks can be hit or miss. But there is nothing I like better than a potluck that is a hit! I am lucky enough to have a group of neighbors that are great cooks so whenever we have a neighborhood potluck party I know there will be plenty of good food to try and lots of new recipes to get!

Today’s recipe for Southwest Cornbread Salad is one I got a few years ago from a neighbor at our yearly Fourth of July cul de sac party. This salad is a little unique. It is a layered salad made with cornbread and I loved the flavor and texture that the cornbread gave the salad.

MY OTHER RECIPES

The salad starts with a layer of crumbled cornbread. I just used the Jiffy Mix! Then you add a layer of lettuce, tomatoes, black beans, corn, a ranch/salsa dressing, bacon, green onions and cheese. And then you repeat all that for a second layer. All kinds of yummy flavors and textures!

Next time you want to be a hit at a potluck dinner take this salad. Southwest Cornbread Salad is delicious and something just a little bit different.
