N’awlins Olive Salad Spread

Both of my best friend’s husbands love muffuletta sandwiches. It’s actually a bribe that the girls and I conspire to make when we want them to go somewhere, they may not really want to go. “There will be muffulettas there”. BAM! They enjoy some sandwiches.

This olive salad spread is the secret to a great muffuletta and it is so easy to make.

If you want to try it as a dip, double the recipe and make some toasted pita points or bagel chips. Perfect for any get together or as a bribe for the husbands. (Don’t judge. We do what we have to do.)

The olive tree is surely the richest gift of Heaven.
