To feed a crowd, especially when I want to make a good impression, I make this eye-popping cornbread salad. It’s beautiful in a trifle bowl. I love it in summer, when we can make it with our own garden produce. &mdash;Debbie Johnson, Centertown, Missouri  

Southern Cornbread Salad

(8-1/2 ounces) cornbread/muffin mix

sour cream

mayonnaise

ranch salad dressing mix

tomatoes,

sweet red pepper

green pepper

green onions, divided

(15 ounces each) pinto beans, rinsed and drained

cheddar cheese

bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

corn,

This was a huge hit at our family celebration. I made 1.5x the recipe because I was expecting 30 guests, however, I did not need to.  Original recipe serves an army! Everyone commented on how beautiful it looked but the biggest compliment was when so many came back for a second helping.  Definitely keeping this recipe for future gatherings.  It’s really not complicated to prepare  but makes a great impression and is  delicious!

It made more than the 12 people I was feeding could eat, but everyone enjoyed it.  I will make it again, but I will probably reduce the quantity of each thing to make a smaller batch.  I may even add some romaine.

This recipe is so good I can't stop eating it. It's even better on the second  day. We will definitely be making this again!

I use the Corn Kits brand of cornbread mix because it’s not sweet like Jiffy. It’s got a great texture and flavor and browns nicely.  I get a carton of small tomatoes (such as Cherubs) and halve them rather  than seeding a regular tomato and making a juicy mess. Get Roma tomatoes and chop them  if you don’t get small tomatoes. I can’t eat kernels of corn so I leave corn out of the salad. I only use 4 slices of bacon.  I sprinkle the top with sliced green onions before serving the salad. You will like this recipe. Try it!

I loved this recipe, I made it with black eyed peas instead of pinto beans, I used already crumbled bacon and added a variety of the peppers Green, Yellow, Red and Orange. It was so good. My whole Family Loved it. Defiantly one for a picnic or back yard BBQ

I  made this salad for dinner last night and it was a hit!  My  8 year old grandson asked his usual question whenever he realizes that I am preparing dinner, "What are you cooking?" When  I told him the night's menu, he wanted to know what other sides we should  add to the menu.  My response was to tell him what the ingredients were and that I considered southern cornbread a meal within itself.    later, while he was eating, he said "Granny this cornbread salad is delicious!" The rest of the family also loved it.  Thanks for sharing this recipe.  I just l I did add meat and a leafy salad.

Great salad.  I've been making this for years.  Sometimes I sub chili beans for the pinto beans and I usually eliminate the bacon to make it purely vegetarian.

Very good and pretty to serve. I followed the recipe except for the beans. I used one can pinto and one can of black beans. I also used canned corn because that is what I had on hand.  I thought this would turn into a big pile of mush but it didn't. Kids wouldn't go near it but all the adults love it. Thanks for posting.

I made this over the weekend and it is a hands down winner. I made no changes to the recipe and everyone loved it. Not only delicious but beautiful as well. I highly recommend this recipe as a Volunteer Field Editor.

This recipe is amazing!! I made this for our memorial day bbq and it was a great success! It tasted even better the next day. It's been requested for our 4th of July bbq also.

Delicious! Took to a party, everyone raved and wanted recipe!! Thanks for a great and different "salad"!!!
