Notes

For the best results, use a high-quality olive salad mix, as it is the key flavor component of a Muffaletta Sandwich. Allowing the sandwich to rest is crucial for the flavors to develop fully. If making ahead, the sandwich can be wrapped and stored in the refrigerator for up to a day, but it should be brought to room temperature before serving for the optimal taste experience.
