Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1 cup diced carrot
  • 1 cup diced black olives
  • 1 cup diced green olives
  • 1/2 cup diced marinated artichoke hearts
  • 1 cup diced piquillo peppers
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/3 cup freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 muffuletta or round Italian loaf (10 to 12 inches in diameter)
  • 2 ounces each thinly sliced Genoa salami, hot sopressata, mortadella, and smoked turkey
  • 2 ounces each thinly sliced imported Swiss cheese and aged provolone

Method

  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, olive oil, vinegar, honey, lime juice, red pepper flakes, oregano, and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl.
  • Add the onion, carrot, olives, artichoke hearts, peppers, celery, and parsley; toss, and season to taste with salt.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and allow the salad to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • Slice the bread in half, and pull some of the interior from the middle of the roll to make room for the other ingredients.
  • Spread a generous amount of the olive oil salad on each half.
  • (You will probably have some salad leftover; it holds for 2 or 3 days in the refrigerator.)
  • Layer the meat and cheese on the bottom half, alternating layers of each meat with thin layers of cheese.
  • Cover with the top half of bread, press gently, slice into wedges, and serve.
