CORNBREAD SALAD

I have heard of this recipe and seen cookbooks with this recipe but
never tried it since it would just ME having it as my hubby won't eat this type food.. I think I will make a small pan of cornbread and give it a try as i like to try out new recipes. I have had mexican cornbread and liked it so I will make it and see how my taste buds react! I have heard nothing but rave reviews all thru the years of reading about this recipe.

I love this also, but hubby won't touch this kind of food either. I have made a small amount of this & ate on it for 2 or 3 days. It kept alright. May have to add more ranch dressing though.. I read one on here a while ago that reminded me of this one, but it was different.

The first time I had this was when I worked at Tyson Corp. and it was in the cafeteria. Coming from the north I never would have thought this was a tasty as it is. Theirs had cucumber and diced ham, but this is the closest recipe I have been able to find. Will save and make soon.

Jamie, I moved from Scranton, just south of you, up here.

I love this! We have a Oktoberfest here at our house every Oct. & one of the girls brings this as a side dish. The ham & cucumber sounds good also.

I loved it Peggy thanks for posting. I had tried one but it said to use jiffy cornbread mix. My family never had sweet cornbread,we just use a mix of Hudson Cream cornbread mix, Hudson cream self-rising flour and milk, put bacon grease or oil in cast iron skillet put in oven and when skillet is hot, pour off excess oil into batter mix and stir and pour into pan,and bake. I never measure anything just mix and we love it that way. I tried that with your recipe and it was delicious. I had tried one before and it called for jiffy mix and it tasted like cake so we didn't like it because of the sugar in the mix. If someone likes sweet cornbread the jiffy would probably be ok.

Like Shirley said I also think the Mexican cornbread would be good in this recipe. I will have to see if I can find a Mexican corn bread recipe. Shirley if you read this please point me in the way of your recipe for Mexican corn bread.

That sounds pod too Evelyn! I love this salad! Thanks for rating.

Look in her recipe box Evelyn.

Shirley, my hubby won't eat this kind of food either.

Since we've had cucumbers from the garden I've already made this twice this summer, I love this salad!

Made this for a party to welcome my grandson back to the states from Iraq area. He had been guarding convoys as our bases were dismantled. It was a big hit and for sure will be making often. Had to write out the recipe to give out too. Thanks for posting.
