This article presents a towering salad inspired by the classic muffuletta sandwich, layered with salami, mortadella, and provolone. It serves as a playful and visually stunning centerpiece for social gatherings, perfectly paired with pizza and wine. The creamy chopped olive vinaigrette, featuring jarred olive salad enhanced with Calabrian chile paste, oregano, mayo, and honey, adds a robust flavor to the crisp iceberg lettuce layers. Eating the salad is designed to be messy and fun, encouraging a communal and relaxed approach to dining.
Eating this salad is a mess, and that's okay! Part of the fun of serving something so tall and theatrical is letting it fall to bits while you chop it up for people.
The highlight is the creamy chopped olive vinaigrette, which provides enough briny punch to carry the whole dish, layered between slabs of crisp iceberg lettuce.
