How to Make Homemade Cornbread Salad

This weekend, I want to share another family favorite side dish in our house - homemade cornbread salad. This is a cold dish, so make it ahead of time to allow it to chill before the meal it will be served with. Great to eat with holiday meals, for picnics, or as part of a cold summer meal. My family enjoys eating cold meals in the summer - tossed chef salad, homemade cornbread salad, pasta salad, homemade potato salad, and homemade deviled eggs. I'll have recipes for the potato salad and deviled eggs soon.

Ingredients

  • Martha White buttermilk cornbread mix
  • 2/3 cup milk of your choice (doesn't have to be buttermilk [gross!])
  • 2 medium tomatoes (diced)
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 1 large cucumber (outer flesh diced if you don't want the seeds in your salad) 
  • OR 1 small cucumber (diced with the seeds)
  • 1 16 oz. bottle of Kraft peppercorn ranch dressing

Directions

  1. Combine the cornbread mix and milk and bake according to the instructions on the package.
  2. Let cool for a few minutes; it's cool enough when you can touch the cornbread without burning your fingers.
  3. Break the cornbread into a large storage bowl. About 2 inch chunks is good; by the time you finish adding the other ingredients, it will break down into smaller chunks.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes, onion, cucumber. Stir to mix all these ingredients
  5. Add the peppercorn ranch dressing about 2 long squeezes at a time. Stir. Also, "chop" into the cornbread chunks. Repeat this last step until you're satisfied with the consistency. Be sure to stir and chop the dressing into the bottom pieces of cornbread. This can be easily missed.
  6. You'll likely use about half of the bottle of dressing. Save the leftover just in case you need to add more - or want to make another bowl of cornbread salad soon.
  7. Refrigerate.

When you're finished, you'll have a beautiful, colorful, tasty, delicious side dish. If you want to add a dash of salt and pepper, that's fine. Enjoy!

New Christian T-shirts Designed and Listed on Etsy

I just finished designing a couple of Christian T-shirts and listing them on Etsy. You can read more about these and keep up with new arrivals on my Digital Potpourri Blog. If you have a custom request, you can contact us via Etsy messages . We'll be happy to try to produce a t-shirt to your liking as long as there is nothing profane, vulgar, immoral, licensed, trademarked or involving hate related to the design. One of the tees reads Love Obey Trust with bible books, chapters, and verses that coincide with these words. The other states God Lives Here with "Here" inside a heart shaped from mini hearts. So, basically 2 messages. God Lives and He lives in our hearts. 😇 Thanks for dropping by to read my updates today, Patricia

Finally a Few Nice Days in a Row

I've been waiting and waiting for spring temps to arrive for more than a couple of days without rain. And this is the week! We finally have some color in the yard and on our deck. So, I want to share what my husband, son, and I have been up to for the last few days. First of all, we had our first cookout on Sunday, April 28 to celebrate our younger son's birthday. That officially kicks off spring. I mixed the first batch of hummingbird nectar a couple of weeks ago, hoping the males would take advantage while the females were tending to their nests. As far as we can tell, 1 male has visited twice. Of course, we can't look out the window all of the time. But we do look out frequently. And we hang them in 2 locations that we can see directly from the kitchen windows. The rose bushes started blooming about a week ago, and I finally had time to take pictures of them. I pulled out the grass and weeds that were growing around them a couple of hours after I took the front-facing ...

Tomedes Free Transcription and Translation

Recently, as you know, I’ve transitioned from a career in transcription and data entry to one focused on generating passive income . Throughout this shift, I’ve realized that I still rely on AI transcription services for the writing component of my new business. In previous posts, I mentioned several AI transcription options, and today, I want to highlight Tomedes’ free Transcribing (up to a 10 MB video file) and Translation services.  Tomedes Transcribing and Translation Services Like other free offerings, these services come with certain limitations and may incur additional charges once those limits are exceeded. However, I find their free offers to be comparable to other AI transcription and translation platforms available online. Offering free services showcases Tomedes' confidence in their products. Additionally, providing these free options helps build trust between the company and users, while also giving individuals the opportunity to explore and experience the features o...
