Melanie's Notes:

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

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

Serve this in a clear bowl or trifle dish to show off this lovely salad to its fullest... then dig in and enjoy every flavorful bite! Perfect for parties or potlucks.

Directions

Prepare cornbread mix according to package directions; cool.

Stir together salad dressing mix, sour cream, and mayonnaise until well blended; set aside.

Combine tomatoes, bell pepper, and onion; gently toss.

Crumble half of cornbread in large serving bowl. Layer half of tomato mixture. Layer half of cheese, bacon, corn, relish, and reserved salad dressing. Repeat layers and end with cheese and bacon on top. Cover and chill for 3 hours (this salad gets better the longer it sits).

This recipe is EXCELLENT. I had no leftovers, and that was sad...you definitely want leftovers! I do recommend making it a day ahead because it makes it that much better.

When i saw this recipe i knew it must be some one from the south. When i first moved to Tn. i ate this at a restaurant and it was so good. Your recipe sounds a lot better i am going to try it. Never heard of Cane River Tn. Take care (badbevnow) Caroline

Patricia,
Definitely you could alter this recipe and make it a TexMex salad by adding beans, pepperjack cheese, and taco seasoning with sour cream. Experiment!

I had something similar at a meeting but I remember the dressing as being sweet, like French or maybe Thousand Island. I loved it and got the recipe, but alas, with moving and cleaning and rearranging have lost it. I will try it both ways and perhaps have TWO salads for the price of one.

I just made this and put it in the fridge to set for dinner. (Had to get it int there quickly because I was eating big spoons of it as I made it....it is soooooooooooo good!!!!) I need some advice, though. This made such a big bowl of salad and there are only 3 of us eating, so I know there will be left-overs. For this reason, I didn't put the onions in yet because I am wondering if I should put them in the individual portions at serving time in case they get too strong and over-powering in the left-over salad. Does anyone have any advice on this?
