Muffuletta Pasta Salad


Recommended Posts

I’m going to try this. I found a recipe for Muffuletta Salad that serves the chopped veggies and seasoning over romaine lettuce. The author served pizza along side. Why not make a stand alone pasta salad? I cut the recipe in half to make it for one with leftovers. Wife and son probably won’t eat it.

1 1/2 cups (8 ounces) pitted spicy mixed marinated olives.

1 cup small cauliflower florets 

1 celery rib

1 small carrot, peeled (or not)

6 pickled peppers (banana, peppeoncini) drained and stemmed 

7 oz jar roasted red peppers, drained and sliced

2 Roma tomatoes, diced
1 cup cubed provolone cheese

4 ounces Italian meats (salami, mortadella, capicola, pepperoni) diced

2 cloves minced garlic

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup white vinegar

1 Tblsp creole mustard 

1 tsp Italian seasoning

2 Tblsp sesame seeds

8 ounces pasta (bow ties, shells, whatever)

Cook pasta to al dente and cool to stop cooking. In a food processor, Combine olives, cauliflower, celery, carrot, and pickled peppers. Slice to make a blend but not a soup. Add remaining ingredients and toss to combine. Refrigerate at least one hour or up to 4 days. Manga manga.

Sounds tasty. I imagine I could skip the meat (maybe us a substitute like tuna or anchovies???) and it would still be tasty. 

Funny enough, the Post covered a veggie version of this the other day!

That’s where I got the idea. I added the meat because that’s what a Muffuletta sammich has. Make it any way you like and you’ll be happy! Anchovies would make a nice addition.

It really sounds good - either way.

I'll float the idea to my wife, since we have to go grocery shopping anyway for some fresh produce.
