The Muffuletta is a hearty Italian-American sandwich that originated in New Orleans, Louisiana. Typically served on a round, sesame-seeded loaf known as muffuletta bread, it is layered with a variety of cured meats such as salami, mortadella, and ham, along with provolone or mozzarella cheese. Its defining feature is the tangy olive salad, a mix of chopped green and black olives, garlic, and pickled vegetables, which adds bold flavor and texture. While the Muffuletta is rich in protein and contains fiber from the olive salad, it is also high in sodium and saturated fats due to the cured meats and cheeses. Moderation is key when enjoying this indulgent sandwich, as it provides energy and essential nutrients but may not fit well into low-sodium or heart-healthy diets. This iconic dish is a flavorful nod to its Sicilian roots and New Orleans’ melting pot cuisine.
