Cornbread Salad

Can you believe that Summer is "unofficially" over? Boo! I have been away this week savoring every last drop of it!

I am back now. And just in time for all the barbecuing that'll be going on this weekend. Can't wait! I have the perfect salad to go alongside any meats you'll be grilling up. Not only is it incredibly delicious it's really beautiful! Kinda steals the show!

Cornbread Salad
Gorgeous and fresh! Perfect for your trifle bowl!
All dished up!



Ingredients:
1 package corn bread mix, prepared as directed and cooled (I like Marie Callender's)
1 head of leafy green lettuce, torn
1 15oz can corn, drained
1 15oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 bunch of green onions, chopped
10 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded jack cheese
1/2 to 1 cup ranch dressing (however much you like)

Directions:
After cornbread has cooled, cut it into small cubes. 
Layer a large bowl with half each of cornbread, lettuce, and next 6 ingredients; drizzle half of your dressing evenly over top. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients and dressing. Cover and chill for about an hour before serving. (Makes several servings.) *Also delicious when served with chopped andouille sausage instead of bacon. 
Cornbread Salad will be participating in these fantastic LINK PARTIES
