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
- Dice salami, pepperoni, and cheese into small cubes.
- Dice olives and pepperoncini peppers into small bite-sized pieces.
- Mix meats, cheese, olives, peppers, and pimentos in a medium-sized bowl.
- 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.
- Toss muffuletta mix with the vinaigrette.
- Serve room temperature or cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours and serve cold.

- Make it a salad by topping fresh greens with a few tablespoons of the dip mixture. Crumble croutons on top for a crunchy texture.
