The classic New Orleans muffuletta is the most delicious picnic sandwich on the planet—the olive salad and the cold cuts between sesame-crusted bread taste even better the longer it sits.
Ingredients:
For the olive salad:
1 small anchovy fillet, packed in oil
Extra-virgin olive oil, for the marinade
1 cup coarsely chopped pitted kalamata olives
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pimento-stuffed green olives
1/2 cup finely diced celery (from 1/2 stalk)
1/2 cup finely diced carrot (from 1 small carrot)
1/2 cup finely chopped cauliflower florets
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons drained and chopped capers
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, plus more to taste
