For years I've prepared a different recipe for cornbread salad. Now that I've made Paula's Southern Cornbread Salad, it's my recipe of choice. Take the time to make her cornbread recipe at the bottom of the recipe. Well worth it---tasty and stays moist. I left out the optional cheese in the cornbread since there is so much in the salad and it was still wonderful. Red pepper gives the great little kick---not too much. You can substitute a different type of onion but the sweet Vidalia is perfect. Be sure and use a really deep, glass bowl. Layers are so pretty showing through the glass. Need lots of depth to have plenty of room for all layers. Plus, you want a little gap between top of salad and top of bowl so you can cover it without messing up dressing on top. Note: this salad needs to be made ahead as directed so flavors have time to blend all together. Great make ahead dish. I just finished off a bowl of this salad that I made three days ago and it's better than it was the first day!

I served this last night to a group of discerning women with sophisticated palates. Would they like it? Would it be too casual, too folksy? They LOVED it! Thanks to previous reviewers, I made it the previous evening which let the flavors meld and the dressing - all 16 ounces - soak through. Everyone asked for the recipe. Heartfelt thanks to the many helpful reviews and to Paula.

My family loved this salad! I served it with balsamic dressing instead of the dressing in the recipe and it was FABULOUS!

Absolutely LOVED this salad!!! Made it for a Memorial Day Cookout. Everyone thought it looked beautiful and tasted delicious. Only change I made was used 1 pint of halved cherry tomatoes and used Buttermilk dressing. The Cornbread was EXCELLENT. I was brave and used the Cayenne Pepper, which was optional. I didn't put cheese in the cornbread (also, was optional because of adding cheese later to the recipe. PAULA DEEN, you are one of the VERY best out there. Thanks for this recipe. PS. It was even better the next day as other reviewers noted. This also can be made a day in advance...Thanks again!!!!

..is what this dish should be called.

The salad was a big hit yesterday; I left some aside and brought it home in my trifle dish...went to gym; when I returned home, my husband had the trifle dish "EMPTIED" and sitting on his LAP...I almost killed him! lol
Instead I just whipped another batch!

..thank you for this heavenly dish Paula!

My wife and I took this to a church picnic and everyone raved about it. They asked for the recipe and told them this was so easy to make. Now all our friends love to make and eat this. Thank you Paula for such a wonderful dish!
