Active: 30 Total: 30

The muffuletta sandwich is a beloved New Orleans classic, filled with cured meats and and topped off with rich, briny olive salad. While it can be tough to find a good one outside of the Crescent City, it's easy to enjoy the same flavors at home in a satisfying salad. Laissez les bons temps rouler!
