Essentials Muffulettas at Central Grocery
  • 3/7/2011 icons / ellipsis / ellipsis-horizontal I can only put 3 stars because I ordered the olive salad from the Central Grocery. One thing that is left out from this recipe is the capers – I would suggest adding at least 2T for the amount of salad that this makes. Also, the Central Grocery version has lots of dried spices in the mix, I’m thinking basil & oregeno for sure . I don’t have the ingredients in front of me, but I’m pretty sure there is some vinegar in the mix also. When I made the sandwich and wrapped it, it still leaked out of the wrap – it is very messy with the oil dripping out of it. If I do it again, I’m going to try to drain the salad more. Oops, almost forgot, the salad has black olives in it too! icons / like

    Central Grocery Olive Salad

    I understand that Central Grocery won’t be reopened for my upcoming visit, but I would like to bring some Olive Salad back home with me. I’m aware that C.G. is selling a limited amount of thier stuff from a location in Metairie and online, but I’m wondering if there is any C.G. Olive Salad in the Quarter. Has anyone seen any?

    Thanks!

    Yep-Rouses sells it. Not sure if the Rouses in the FQ on Royal sells it. This store is much smaller than the others. The next closest one is on Baronne in the Central Business District.

    etude & Adrienne, thank you both.

    Rouse’s is perfect! I have to head over there to load up on coffee, spices and other N.O. specific items on my shopping list already.

    Cheers!

    If you can, go to the one on Baronne or Tchoupitoulous instead of the one on Royal. They are much better stocked .

    I’m sure that many of the olive salads are delicious, but I am partial to Boscoli’s. In fact, I have 2 jars of it in my pantry right now. I have many friends who agree with me! Just try it! It is, of course, delicious on the typical muffuletta, but also makes a great pasta salad.

    Olive Salad For Muffaletta Sandwiches

    Youve found it. The mother of all olive salads. Youll want to sit down with a spoon and eat this olive salad as is. We admit. Weve done it. Several times. It didnt even make its way on top of the muffaletta sandwich we made it for. Oh well. As is life.

    While were on the topic of Muffaletta Sandwiches..

    A key component to a traditional Muffaletta Sandwich is the olive salad. Weve been playing around with different combinations and landed on one that reminds us of the Central Grocery Olive Salad.

    Make It A Meal: This Italian Olive Salad pairs perfectly with our Muffaletta Sandwich and Muffaletta Bread.

    OLIVE SALAD

    While not required, its best to make this 24-hours in advance in order to mingle flavors. Just leave it in the fridge until youre ready to eat.

    There are prepared pickled vegetables you can buy instead of making them yourself or buying them one by one. If you live near New Orleans you can probably find a popular brand from the region , however if you dont live near New Orleans your best bet is Giardiniera. We just pick out the individual veggies as we need them.

    PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. Use high-quality olive oil. You will taste the difference if you use an inferior brand.

    We like to keep our olives nice and chunky. If you prefer a smaller chop, stick the mixture in a blender and do a quick pulse or two to get it to your desired consistency.

    How To Make

  • Cut the salad ingredients small enough to be used as a spread. Get a mixing bowl and place all the ingredients in it.
  • 2. Mix it well with a large spoon.

    3. In a smaller mixing bowl, pour in the dressing ingredients.

    4. Whisk until well combined.

    5. Pour the dressing over the olive mixture.

    6. Stir, cover, and refrigerate this for 8 hours or overnight to give it time to marinate.

    There you have it! A super tasty recipe that will knock your next muffaletta sandwich out of the ball park. Trust me, it’s that good.
