    Easy Amish Cornbread Salad

    Salads are popular in Amish kitchens during the summer.  But they don’t always involve lettuce.  or spinach.  This is a cornbread salad and is quite popular in Amish kitchens. The recipe is pretty simple. You can make it super simple by buying cornbread, I suppose. Or you can make your own.  We have some great simple recipes on this website for cornbread. You can use whatever kind of cornbread you prefer. Some people like a dry, crumbly cornbread, others like a more buttery bread. The only time I like dry crumbly cornbread is if I bathe it with butter.

    By the way, as a total aside, there used to be a restaurant in Cincinnati called Burbanks and they served the BEST cornbread. Man, it was melt-in-your-mouth good. So, yeah, procure the best cornbread you can for this Easy Amish Cornbread Salad!


    This particular recipe called for a green pepper but we didn’t have any, so I used to red. I regret using the red now, because I think it would look better with green. But it tasted super

    This type of dish is one that would be popular to take to a potluck, picnic, or after-church carry-in supper. It feeds a large amount of people and is a definite crowd pleaser.

      Oh Lovina, if I only knew where you were I'd buy eggs from you. I'm on the east side of Michigan. I am sorry to hear of two funerals for your family to attend. we went to a visitation of a friend's mother who passed away last Sunday.

      I never would have though of putting cornbread into a salad. Good idea! I think I'd like a little cheddar cheese tossed on top of this - but then I like a little cheese on just about everything.

      This salad sounds odd to me. Perhaps if there were some lettuce added,it would be better. Of course,this is soley my opinion..I usually love Lovina's recipes!!

      Would love to know what kind of chickens you have and what you feed them. That is a wonderful egg production amount.

      Kevin,

      This cornbread salad does sound good. But what kind of cornbread did you use? The photos look like a Texas Toast, rather than cornbread. I have never had cornbread of any kind that sliced and cubed up like your pictures show.

        It's just a "poofier" cornbread, you can use any kind, though!
