And Baptist Church Ladies continue to rejoice.
This is a sure fire #backpocketrecipe and one I think you should print or at least pin. I can’t tell you how many thousands of church gatherings, family reunions and picnics this has been to. The old school, church lady way to make cornbread salad involves heavy mayo but no more flavor. YOU ARE GOING TO WANT THIS. Trust me.

This is a #backpocketrecipe you are going to want to print or pin. It's filling, yummy, everyone loves it...you literally can't go wrong with this one.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of prepared cornbread, crumbled
- 2 cups of kernel corn (I use frozen but canned is fine, drain first)
- 1/2 cup diced green peppers
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh tomatoes (I used grape tomatoes)
- 8 pieces my recipe Candied Bacon (click here) cooked crisp then crumbled
- 1/2 cup regular onions diced or I use green onions
- 1 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt
- 1/2 block of fat free cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
Instructions
- Find a large container to mix this in...it's huge!
- Make Candied Bacon and set to the side to cool
- Mix yogurt, cream cheese, ranch powder, and water together - whisk slightly to mix
- Crumble cornbread in mixing bowl (or I used a big aluminum foil pan), add corn, and other dry ingredients - toss
- Pour dressing mixture evenly over the top and toss again
- Top with a few more green onions (for looks only lol)
- Chill for at least an hour before serving... tastes even better the next day!

I can’t wait to try this lightened version of this delicious. We are having covered dish next week after church and this will be in my basket to share. Have a question about the cornbread. Do you use a mix and if so which or your own recipe? If using your own would you share the recipe. My cornbread comes out differently every time I make it and I want to this to be really good. Thanks!
Oh I can’t wait to see how they like it! I use a mix or buy prepared cornbread in the deli section of our supermarket. I’ve never made it from scratch but maybe I should give that a shot sometime. Thanks for commenting!
