This grilled cornbread salad with red onions and rocket is a sophisticated, vegetarian-friendly take on the classic panzanella. By lightly grilling the cornbread, you add a smoky depth and delightful crunch that perfectly complements the juicy cherry tomatoes and crisp cucumber. The addition of aromatic basil and salty oil-cured olives creates a complex flavour profile that feels both rustic and refined, making it a standout choice for an al fresco lunch or a creative dinner party side dish.
Packed with fresh produce and vibrant colours, this recipe is as nourishing as it is visually appealing. The creamy Monterey Jack within the cornbread provides a savoury richness that stands up beautifully to the sharp, mustard-led vinaigrette. Whether you are looking for a hearty salad to serve at a summer barbecue or a unique way to use leftover savoury cornbread, this dish offers a wonderful balance of textures and bold, Mediterranean-inspired flavours.

How to make Grilled Cornbread Salad with Red Onions, Rocket, and Red Wine Vinaigrette
Whisk vinegar, shallots, and mustard in small bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in oil. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring vinaigrette to room temperature and rewhisk before using.)
Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Cut cornbread into 4 squares; remove from pan. Cut each square into four 1-inch-wide strips. Brush cornbread strips lightly on all sides with oil. Grill bread just until grill marks appear, about 1 minute per side. Transfer bread to work surface; cool. Brush onion rounds with oil. Grill until tender and golden, turning once, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to large bowl; cool.
Cut bread into 1-inch cubes. Separate onion rounds into rings; return onions to same bowl. (Grilled cornbread and onions can be prepared 4 hours ahead; let stand at room temperature.)
Add tomatoes, rocket, basil, cucumber, and olives to bowl with onion rings. Add vinaigrette and toss to coat, then add cornbread and toss gently; serve.
