Muffuletta

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. + chilling YIELD: 8 servings.
Muffuletta, which originated in New Orleans, is named after the round, crusty Sicilian loaf of bread it's traditionally served on. While I favor my own olive salad, there are several good versions available in most supermarkets. —Lou Sansevero, Ferron, Utah
