This recipe showed up in the Bethel Journal in Bethel, Ohio, years ago (the 80’s). I made it often for church suppers and gatherings in my home. I used black beans and spread the mayo ranch mixture on top of the first layering of ingredients as well as the top of the salad. So good and refreshing. Brings back lots of good memories!

When I make this salad I substitute 1 can of pinto beans with black beans. I also use Fiesta Ranch instead of plain Ranch. This is one of my favorite salads!!

I just made this for the third time. Every time I take it to a pot luck or to help feed a family after the funeral of a loved one, it is always complimented and someone request the recipe. We love eating at home over several days. It just gets better and better 😋

I use Jiffy corn bread mix and add 1 small can diced green chilies, hot or mild, to the mix before baking. So good!

I love cornbread salad and have been making it for years. My daughter borrowed my recipe to share with the people in her office, guess what, I never got it back, so I have been trying to find one on Pinterest to jog my memory. This one is pretty close except I use tomatoes and bacon and mix those in with the green onion and bell pepper and layer it before the creamy mixture. Also, I do not rinse my pinto beans. To me, it gives it a little moisture so it is not so dry.

Do you use sweet cornbread (Jiffy mix) or regular cornbread?

Yes, “boughten”….it’s Southern for “purchased”. Although I am a native Oregonian, all of Momma’s family was from the south. LOL, I think it makes me bilingual….

No it doesn’t appear to – I’ve never made it the night before but I have had leftovers and it doesn’t hurt it at all!

Does making this the day before make the cornbread soggy?
