This Tuscan bread salad is wonderful for its bright, earthy flavors and is a perfect accompaniment to any summer meal. Traditionally this salad is prepared with stale focaccia, ciabatta, or baguette then, tossed in olive oil, vinegar, and herbs. This version has an American flare with day old sweet cornbread and a honey apple cider vinegar dressing.
