Cornbread Panzanella

Every evening my grandma used to make a fresh loaf of cornbread. It would come out of the oven hot and crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Panzanella is a dish that I had maybe made once or twice in the past, but I must have gotten a wild hair one day and decided to try making it with cornbread instead of a crusty white bread—it was my way of “southernizing” the recipe. I loved it. Panzanella is so bright and colorful—it just looks like summer.
