This salad is a refreshing side dish or simply on its own. For a change, add 2 cans of pinto beans (drained). I sometimes mix all ingredients together instead of layering. Feel free to add/delete ingredients.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This cornbread salad is perfect for parties or potlucks. Sweet corn and cornbread are a nice contrast to the tangy, thick ranch dressing. Cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions add a pop of freshness. Bacon and cheese add a savory touch. When the layers are combined, each bite is fantastic. It's a great side dish for summer.
