This classic sandwich originated in New Orleans in 1906. Its key flavor component is the olive mix, which we’ve streamlined in this variation on the authentic olive recipe. The olive mix also works well as a cold pasta salad dressing.
Why Try? This is a fun sandwich to serve at a get together with friends or family.
