Directions
Step 1
Prepare the cornbread by baking your favorite recipe or a boxed mix. Allow it to cool completely, then crumble into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Drain on a paper towel, let cool, and crumble into small pieces.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ranch dressing, and sour cream to form a creamy dressing.

In a large trifle or glass bowl, begin layering the salad. Start with half of the crumbled cornbread as the base layer.
Step 5
Top the cornbread with half of the bacon, followed by half of the cherry tomatoes, green bell pepper, red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and canned corn.
Step 6
Spread half of the dressing evenly over the layered ingredients to create a thin layer.
Step 7
Repeat the layering process with the remaining cornbread, bacon, vegetables, cheese, and dressing.
Step 8
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Before serving, garnish the top of the salad with chopped chives, if desired.
