Caprese Salad Recipe with Homemade Cornbread

I don’t even know where this idea came from, I just really wanted to make some homemade cornbread and knew it would go well with tomatoes so why not re-invent a classic with a ton of new flavors. This caprese salad recipe is almost like a panzanella salad, but it’s a lot tastier.
