This is a great addition for group gatherings. The prep time takes about 60 minutes, which includes cooking the cornbread. It is best if allowed to cool over night in a refrifgerator. Don\'t be afraid to experiment, I add a layer of minced hot peppers to kick it up a notch. Enjoy!

Blue cheese and White Wine-Fig Dressing round out the salad’s flavor appeal.
