Bean and Cornbread Salad #SundaySupper

Packed full of beans and vegetables that are smothered in-between carbs and cheese (all selling points), this Bean and Cornbread Salad recipe is sweet, savory, spicy, creamy and simply delicious!

But before we start cooking, I want to say: thank you, thank you, thank you to Tammi of Momma’s Meals for hosting today’s delicious Sunday Supper! Today we are all blogging about bean recipes and I am super excited to be participating!

Beans are a staple in the MealDiva house! We love to add them to so many dishes like Black Beans and Rice, Crockpot Black Bean & Beef Stew, Vegetarian Chili, Black Bean Salad and a personal favorite, Tex Mex Chicken Chili.

Today I’m brining this delicious Bean and Cornbread Salad to the table. This recipe is one of those one- bowl- wonders that everyone from kids to adults enjoys. Seriously, each bite is its own little flavor bomb.
