"This salad has an amazing flavor. My most requested recipe hands down! The Greek Seasoning add a fantastic flavor. This will be a big hit anytime you serve it. Great for church pot luck! Easily doubles (I've had to quadrouple before)"

Made this yesterday and it was a hit. Everybody liked it which actually surprised me. It makes a lot. Believe I will take it to potluck at church next time. <br/><br/>I only used about 1 1/2 t of the Greek seasoning because I was unfamiliar with it. I will likely try a bit more next time. -
I only made half a recipe, but now wish I'd made the whole thing! This is soooooooo good! I can sit down with a bowl of this like a person does with a bag of chips. I just don't get tired of eating it! Based on comments from another reviewer I only used 1 1/2 teaspoons of Greek seasoning, and that was just right for half a recipe. Also, somehow I missed the part about adding the ranch dressing and Greek seasoning to the cornbread batter; I added them to the mayonnaise instead and that worked fine. I also added about 1/2 cup of finely shredded cheese. Thanks for posting! -
This is truly a great salad; I went to a family reunion this weekend ; one of the other ladies made this but she sprinkled coursely shredded cheddar cheese on top; YUM!!!!!!!!!!!

I made this for my family reunion yesterday...it was a huge hit! Not only was my dish compeletly empty, but everyone wants the recipe! Thanks! -
I really like cornbread salad, so I read all the recipes and decided to use this one. I only used 2 TEASPOONS of Cavendar's seasoning and only ONE pack of Ranch Dressing. I'm glad I did because any more would have made it entirely too salty for my tastes and that of my friends. I also put carrots and celery (one large carrot, finely chopped and 3 stalks celery, finely chopped). Got rave reviews from my tennis buddies, all of whom cook very well.

My wife and I love to cook and love to find recipes that are great tasting and easty to prepare. As a minister we host a lot of friends in our home, take food to help families, and go to many pot-lucks which makes our hunt for recipes constant.
