Muffuletta Dip

A bold and zesty dippable version of the classic southern style New Orleans muffuletta olive salad sandwich.

Muffuletta Facts

The muffuletta sandwich is traditionally served on a round loaf of Italian bread. It originated from the Italian immigrants in New Orleans. The word muffuletta means a round hollowed loaf of bread.

This dip is a version of the chopped olive salad with cured meats and cheese tossed in a tangy vinaigrette and served on toasted flatbread slices.

Ingredients

Salami and Provolone – for this recipe I recommend buying a large black of salami from the deli so you can chop it into small bite-sized pieces.

Muffuletta Vinaigrette Ingredients

Fresh Herb – I always recommend using fresh herbs over dried herbs whenever you can. If you cannot find fresh herbs, dried herbs can be substituted.

Let’s Make Muffuletta Dip

1. Dice salami, pepperoni, and cheese into small cubes.
2. Dice olives and pepperoncini peppers into small bite-sized pieces.
3. Mix meats, cheese, olives, peppers, and pimentos in a medium-sized bowl.
4. For the vinaigrette, chop the fresh herbs and mix them with vinegar, olive oil, and a small amount of liquid from the pepperoncini pepper jar.
5. Toss muffuletta mix with the vinaigrette.
6. Serve room temperature or cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours and serve cold.
