  5. Notes: A muffuletta is a sandwich unlike any other. Meats, cheese and olive salad are stuffed in between great thick slices of Italian bread. Aficionados argue about whether it should be served cool or possibly hot It is good both ways.
  6. Here it's been made into a Muffuletta Salad to tote along to a picnic. Make it a day ahead to allow the flavors to mingle. Pack it into an airtight container and stow in the ice chest to keep it cold.
