Diets Muffaletta is actually a type of bread. It’s also what a nonkosher sandwich made with deli meats and cheeses on muffaletta bread is called. A muffaletta sandwich always includes a finely chopped, spicy olive salad, and the salad took on the name of the sandwich it goes in.
I once bought a jar of Olive Muffaletta by The Olive Guys in Costco. It was excellent, and I put it on everything. I especially liked it on grilled cheese and as a topping on homemade pizza. It’s been many years since I’ve seen it around, and I’ve been wanting to recreate it ever since, so here it is!
2 tablespoons Tuscanini Olive Oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 cup pimento- filled olives, such as Haddar
1 cup Beleaves Frozen Cauliflower, defrosted and well-drained
1/2 red pepper
1 stalk celery
1 carrot, peeled
3–4 jalapeño slices (less if you don’t like it hot)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
Chop the olives, cauliflower, pepper, celery, carrot, and jalapeno very finely.
Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, pepper, and granulated garlic in a bowl.
Add the chopped vegetables to the bowl and mix to combine.
