Ingredients

• 6 cups cornbread
• 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 red onion, finely chopped
• 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cornbread according to your favorite recipe or use a store-bought mix. Ensure it cools completely before using in the salad. Once cool, crumble into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and ranch seasoning mix to create the dressing. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large glass trifle dish or a clear bowl, layer the ingredients in the following order: half of the crumbled cornbread, half of the dressing, half of the tomatoes, half of the bell peppers, half of the onions, and half of the shredded cheese.

Step 5

Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients. Top the salad with the crumbled bacon and sliced green onions to finish.

Step 6

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve chilled as a side dish or a standalone salad. Gently toss portions before serving to distribute the dressing.
