olive salad

Briny vegetable medley

Olive salad is a chopped mixture of olives, pickled vegetables, garlic, and oil—the signature ingredient of the New Orleans muffuletta sandwich.

The briny, garlicky spread typically includes giardiniera, capers, and herbs.

It's sold jarred or made fresh: The muffuletta needs a thick layer of olive salad.
