Muffuletta Sandwich

"I served this at a company luncheon that I hosted and it was a BIG hit with everyone who loves olives and a couple of people who don't. Mortadella is an Italian bologna, any garlic bologna would work."

  1. I am from New Orleans and GAWD, do I miss these suckers! Just a tip, make the olive salad ahead of time and let it sit in the frige for a day or two. Ooo La La!!
     
  2. This is my favorite requested sandwich to make for a party or any get together---I make the olive salad to put on my french bread, pita chips etc----just love it---I use only salami (this is a must) and a good ham---provolone and swiss or any other cheese you like---
     
  3. What a wonderful picnic this was! We enjoyed the sandwich while watching James Taylor at Chastain Park in Atlanta. A layered salad and oatmeal-cranberry cookies completed a wonderful meal. Thanks! Will make this olive salad often.
     
  4. I've made this before and it's wonderful! But the traditional way is to make the sandwich a day ahead of time, wrap tightly, and put a heavy weight on it and let chill overnight, then cut into wedges. The sandwich stays together better that way and the flavors meld a little more. YUM!!

  1. I LOVE this sandwich toasted in the oven, open faced, with the cheeses on last so that they melt into the olive salad and meats. OMG, it's so good. Crisp chips and a fruit cup and I'm in heaven. Of course, you slap the two halves together to eat it.. only toast it open.

Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p> 8724616"
