Muffulettas, a classic New Orleans Sandwich, are without a doubt my all-time favorite sandwich. Since I don’t always have the opportunity to travel to The Big Easy every time I get a craving, I’ve learned how to make muffuletta sandwiches at home. One key ingredient in building the perfect muffaletta sandwich is olive salad. However, it can be hit or miss when it comes to finding a jar of olive salad in the store. That’s why I decided to develop my own homemade olive salad recipe.
When developing this recipe, I decided to use Central Grocery in the French Quarter in New Orleans as my inspiration. I pulled my list of ingredients directly from the back of one of their jars of olive salad and started tweaking from there. I’ve eaten enough of their muffulettas to know if I’m on the right track and I think I’ve come up with a winner.
