Bacon Cheddar Chili Cornbread Salad

Teresa Ambra

Gluten Free Living – 2016

Bacon Cheddar Chili Cornbread Salad is one of the most heavenly salads I’ve ever eaten. No kidding, I could have eaten my weight in this salad. (That’s a scary prospect). All that delicious bacon, plus a fabulous homemade Bacon Cheddar Chili Cornbread, and a Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix for the salad dressing–oh, my. Toss in a few veggies along the way, a little cheese….wow, it was absolutely mouthwatering. I loved, loved, LOVED this Tex-Mex salad!

About three years ago our church had a really large banquet to send off one of the ministers who had been at the church for over 25 years. We had a huge potluck and someone brought one of these great Texas Cornbread Salads. They are super popular here in Texas, but I had never heard of them outside this state. I never could find who made it, but I always longed to repeat the experience because it was so good. I had a similar recipe I had collected from friends at Dallas Baptist University and decided to start there, add, improvise and make it my own.

Most of these recipes start with a boxed Jiffy cornbread mix. While I could have done that to make it easier, I wanted to use a really savory cornbread with bacon, cheddar cheese and green chilies. I loved my Bacon Cheddar Cornbread, Jalapeno Cheddar Honey Cornbread, and my Bacon Jalapeno Cornsticks (which uses gruyere cheese), so the cornbread recipe is based on these recipes along with my favorite all time cornbread recipe, made with gluten free flour instead. The cornbread was so good I had a hard time keeping my fingers out of the crumbs. I was taking pictures and licking my fingers at the same time!

I also wanted to replace the bottled Ranch dressing with something healthier. I had seen a Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix on Pinterest and decided to give it a try. I wanted a thick dressing for the salad, so I used the dry mix with a healthier mayonnaise and sour cream so it would hold it’s body and not be watery or too thin (like with Greek yogurt). It was perfect. I had so many people come up and tell me they loved the salad but especially the dressing!

I layered the salad with the basic Texas Cornbread Salad ingredients adding a few of my own along the way. Then I added additional bacon on top, along with cheddar cheese, green onions and tomatoes. This salad had so-o-o-o much going for it. The savory bacon flavor was awesome. Everything just worked incredibly well. While this recipe is gluten free and has a lot of great veggies, it cannot be considered one of the healthier salads you’ll ever make. It will be considered one of the best tasting however. 🙂

Yes, it did take a little bit longer to make than using a boxed cornbread mix or a bottle of Ranch dressing, but it tasted infinitely better in my opinion. This salad is so good you can make it for a main dish salad if you like. It’s a terrific side or main dish for backyard barbecues, potlucks or when grilling out and having friends over. I took it to a big party at our church and it was a real crowd pleaser.

If you’re looking for the best salad ever to take to your next party (and don’t mind a little additional work from making the cornbread and dressing from scratch), then Bacon Cheddar Chili Cornbread Salad (or Texas Cornbread Salad, if you prefer), is the salad for you. It is so delectable you will be drooling after the first bite. I sure did.

Bacon Cheddar Chili Cornbread Salad is to die for! I rarely say that about anything but dessert, but it’s really true with this salad. The savory, bacon-y cornbread makes it so wonderful.

I also made a couple of these salads in parfait dishes. I ate every drop. 🙂

Here’s what I did.

I used these ingredients. I substituted halved grape tomatoes for the Roma tomatoes.

I made the dressing mix and the cornbread two days before I served the salad. I made the salad 24 hours before serving and kept it in the refrigerator.

Cut cornbread into cubes and place in the bottom of a trifle dish. You will probably only need about half of the recipe. (Enjoy the rest with your favorite soup or chili.)

Layer half of the crisp-cooked bacon pieces.

Add about 4 cups torn Romaine lettuce. (Pack down). Layer a pint of grape tomatoes, halved, cucumber, red bell pepper and red onion.

Drain corn well. Layer over top of red onion. (You can also use cooked corn-on-the-cob that’s been cut down or frozen corn that’s been microwaved).

For the dressing: Mix two tablespoons Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix with 1 cup sour cream and 1 cup Just Mayo mayonnaise. I found Just Mayo at Wal-Mart, but you can substitute Hellmann’s if you can’t find it.

Spread dressing mixture over top of veggies in trifle dish. If you can fit all of the dressing, add all of it.

    It looks supper yummy as well as beautiful! My question is; As the dressing is just put on top wouldn’t it make sense to maybe put half the dressing at the half way mark? You may not be able to make it advance but for all the goodies that don’t get used near the bottom there would be that extra layer of dressing. I guess, you could just have extra on the side as well.
    My husband would hog all the dressing!

      Hi, Donna. I think that’s a great idea. Although I’m not sure I’d split the dressing in half. I’d probably just double the amounts! 🙂 And certainly you could make up some extra on the side to make sure you get enough coverage. This is such a fantastic salad. I hope you give it a try.

    Wow Teresa!! You hit it out of the ball park with this salad! Amazing!! Reminds me of the famous 7 layer dip except on a whole other scale of deliciousness!! Drooling! 🙂

    This looks incredible. I was looking for a salad/side for my daughter’s graduation party, and this is it. As I’ve never made this before, I wanted your opinion on an idea–do you think it would make sense for me to make the salad in those little clear plastic cups to make it easier for the kids? All I’m picturing is them scooping the first 3 layers, and leaving the rest. It would probably be a lot of work, but it might be worth it….what do you think?

    1. Teresa

      July 16, 2016 at 11:07 am

      Hey, Shannon, I made a couple of them in parfait dishes so it’s definitely doable. I would suggest using the widest possible cups you can find and those that are no more than 5 inches deep or so. Then when layering, remember that in order to fit everything you will probably not be able to put more than about 3 or 4 pieces of each layer (i.e. 3 small pieces of bacon, tomatoes, cuke, beans, etc.) You won’t get the full effect of a trifle dish, but everyone would get a really good sample of this salad. If you have time ahead to make the homemade cornbread from scratch and the homemade ranch dressing mix it will be triply good! Also, you will probably need to consider that these will take an extra hour or so to make it this way. So add extra time. I hope they turn out spectacular for you!

    It is so ironic that you posted this as I had a version of it for the first time a couple weeks ago. My mom made it, and I had never heard of a salad like this before. I loved it, too! I bet yours takes it to the next level with the homemade Ranch and homemade cornbread! She gave me the leftovers so I got to eat it for 2 days. It was so good! It is such a unique salad, but has so many wonderful flavors going on in it. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Teresa!

      We loved this recipe, Shari. It’s so bacon-y, cheesy and delectable I could have sat down and eaten the whole thing. I couldn’t get enough of it. I hope you give this version a try the next time you have to make something for a potluck. It’ll have everyone coming back for more! Thanks for stopping by.
