I wasn't thrilled with this, but the people at the picnic thought it was good. I'll keep looking for "that special picnic recipe".

I just made this for the 4th holiday and it was fantastic! I too was hesitant due to the combination of ingredients, but I felt adventuresome. And it paid off! I cut the recipe in half since there's only two of us, and there's still plenty leftover. (Which we will certainly enjoy today!) I used black beans instead of pinto. I also used the little grape tomatoes, red and green pepper, and sharp cheddar cheese. I will definetly make this the next time I need to take a dish somewhere. A++++++

Loved it! Had to 'customize' for our family - no beans, no bacon, but it was fabulous just the same.

This recipe creates a beautiful and delicious salad. The only thing that I will do differently next time, is add more ranch dressing. Good recipe.

Very good, but mine was a little dry. Next time, I am going to add a little mayonnaise to the ranch dressing and put it on top of the crumbled cornbread before I add the other ingredients.

Gosh...What can I say about a recipe that has had everyone that I have EVER served it too flippin' out? Not enough, apparently. This salad is FANTASTIC and I have made it over 6 times for different occasions. I HIGHLY reccommend that you try this and have some fun with it. Some substitutions I have made are using differnet Ranch dressings (a spicy Texas ranch was a HUGE hit) plus I've changed the beans from pinto to black beans, I've changed the cheese. It's very flexible, so have fun! Really, though...it's FABULOUS! make it, make it, make it!!! Oh yeah, also I make/serve it on a really big colorful platter, and garnish it with a red or green jalapeno pepper.ENJOY!!!

We tried this for my son's "Mexican Fiesta" birthday party and it was a big hit! Even with 20 people, there were still leftovers, though. Maybe I'll cut it in half next time -- but there WILL be a next time!

Everyone is impressed when they see the various colorful layers and even more so when they taste it. Carry the recipe with you at potlucks, everyone will want it. Spice it up with a fresh (or commercial) salsa layered with or instead of tomatoes!
