Pasolivo’s Muffuletta Salad
Muffuletta salad is a simple, quick and healthy dish packed with Italian flavors. The original muffuletta sandwich was crafted in New Orleans in 1906. We’ve developed a low-carb version that uses fresh, healthy ingredients. The combination of vegetables, meats and cheeses makes for a hearty, filling snack or meal. Ideally, this dish is prepared a day or two in advance (minus the romaine lettuce) to give the flavors time to meld.
