Thats a classic cornbread salad recipe. I would say put it all in a wrap if you don't like cornbread.

I dare say you might find that you like cornbread this way with all those other lovely ingredients soaking it up. Can't think of an acceptable substitute for you.

Well, I would go with a bakery bread that you like. Some sort of dense peasant bread. Cut into chunks, but you prob. don't want to marinate it overnight - maybe a couple of hours at the most, so it doesn't turn to mush.

I love sourdough bread, but it's kind of airy. If I used that, I would toss the salad with the bread and let it sit maybe an hour.
