Ingredients

This sandwich originated in New Orleans in 1906. Its key flavor component is the olive mix, which 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.
Foodie Byte: For a traditional muffuletta, layer sandwich ingredients in a large round artisan Italian or French bread loaf-sliced in half horizontally. Close with top half of bread, cut into hearty wedges, and serve.
Preparation
- In food processor, combine garlic, olives, cappers and Italian dressing. Pulse until coarse-chopped; reserve.
- For each sandwich, spread bottom half of Ciabatta roll with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, then top with 2 ounces ham, 2 slices salami, 2 slices cheese, and top with 1/4 cup olive relish.
- Close sandwich with top halves of rolls.
