Layered Cornbread Salad

Lady made this recipe so many times and it is one of those that I never got tired of. It is perfect in the summer paired with yummy grilled chicken or smoked brisket.

Cornbread Salad
It can be made in advance so you can spend most of your time with your family. This will be perfect to make this weekend for the 4th of July. Each flavor blends so well together and looks beautiful served in a trifle bowl. I love this salad!
