Rita Heikenfeld's Muffeleta with Olive Dressing


A bit messy to eat, but oh so good!

One loaf Italian bread, sliced into two horizontally
1/2 pound each: sliced baked ham and provolone cheese
1/4 pound hard salami
Tomato slices, sweet onion rings

Leaf lettuce(optional but good)

Dressing

Go to taste on this. If you don’t like black olives, use green olives. You may wind up with some left over.

1/2 cup finely chopped black olives
2/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1/2 cup fresh basil, finely chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Pepper to taste

Whisk together dressing ingredients. (Can be made a dayahead). Set aside.

Hollow out bottom loaf, leaving ½” thick sides. Hollow out top loaf, but leave sides a bitthicker.

Spread dressing on inside of top and bottom loaves. Set top aside.

Start layering meats, cheese, vegetables and lettuce,brushing each layer with dressing, until you run out of filling. Press eachlayer down as you go. Press top onto sandwich and wrap and chill for at least 1hour or up to 8 hours. Cut into bigwedges to serve. Serves 4-6.
