Oh my goodness! I made the recipe for our Christmas lunch at work yesterday and I had to give this recipe out to everyone! It was so good! I now have a great, quick, good tasting salad to take to pot lucks. My husband is a picky eater and I wasn't sure if he would like the leftovers I brought home from the luncheon. He went nuts over it. Good thing, because the recipe makes quite a bit. I am taking the rest for lunch today! Enjoy everyone!

I subbed black beans for the pinto beans and made my own mayonnaise. The people I served it to were really impressed by how tasty it was for a cold salad. Layered in a clear pyrex bowl makes it quite pretty.

I have a similar recipe that involves tossing a 4 oz. can of diced chilies into the cornbread when baking. If the dressing is too much for you, simply cut it to 1 cup each mayo and sour cream - I will actually try it like this recipe next time as I always have a hard time spreading only 2 cups evenly. I took this salad to a church picnic and it was gone, with several requests for the recipe. I thought it sounded weird, but I love this. Beautiful presentation in a glass dish. I like to make a half batch for myself. The 9X13 dish will be FULL with the full recipe, and a half batch easily fills a 3 qt. dish! Saves well in the fridge for several days, too.

I cant believe people are omitting items from this fantastic recipe. The only thing I do differently is: I dont layer it, I mix everything together. The salad is the best thing you'll ever put in your mouth. It is too good!

I have made this twice and both times I have had great reviews. It looks impressive in a trifle dish.

Typically I don't like cornbread or pinto beans but I tried this at a pot luck and loved it. I was so happy that I found the recipe here because I couldn't find the person who made it for the party. Don't change a thing.

It's hard for me to rate this recipe. I did like the blend of flavors - the dressing, bacon, tomato, cheese, scallion mixture was very good. What I didn't like was the texture of the cornbread. It just didn't seem right with all the other ingredients. And I can't just omit it, since it is the main ingredient of the salad. Other people at my party said it was 'pretty good' yet only about 1/4 of it was eaten, and that was mostly by me. Sorry, but I won't be making this again.

As far as 'salads' go, this is the best I've ever had! My best friend made it for her daughters birthday over the weekend and it disappeared! I'll be making this for my own family very soon!
