Method

1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

2

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter until combined. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.

3

Pour batter into a greased 9-inch square baking pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely, then crumble or cube into bite-sized pieces.

4

Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the cucumber, red onion, and bell pepper into uniform bite-sized pieces.

5

Slice the green onion and chop the cilantro; set aside.

6

Whisk together mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

7

Place crumbled cornbread in a large serving bowl. Top with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and bell pepper.

8

Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Garnish with sliced green onion. Serve immediately.
