Central Grocery Olive Salad - 16 oz (Pack of 2) Perfect for Muffulettas, Sandwiches, Pizzas, Pastas, Hot Dogs, Salads

Central Grocery, a New Orleans culinary icon, has been featured on numerous media outlets, including PBS, The Food Network, Thrillist, USA Today, and Huffington Post. The Today Show even named their muffuletta one of the five best sandwiches. At the heart of Central Grocery's offerings is their premium Olive Salad, a perfect complement for muffulettas, sandwiches, and a variety of other dishes.

Central Grocery's Olive Salad is second to none, delivering exceptional flavor from a blend of olives, pimentos, vegetables, and savory oil. This versatile salad can elevate everything from pasta to seafood, and is a must-have for crafting authentic Muffuletta sandwiches.

For a simple but delicious pasta dish, combine one pound of small pasta shapes (such as elbow, farfalle, or penne) with one to two cups of Central Grocery's Olive Salad. Toss in some grated Parmigiano Reggiano and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes (if desired) for a bit of heat. Be sure to cook the pasta al dente, never overcooking it to a mushy consistency. For an extra flavor boost, add a drizzle of high-quality olive oil.

The uses for Central Grocery's Olive Salad extend far beyond pasta. Try it with a rotisserie chicken, mixed with salted cashews and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Or top grilled hot dogs with a couple tablespoons of the olive salad, along with sliced jalapeños for an extra kick.

When making your own tapenade, a small addition of maple syrup can help balance the sour notes from the olives and lemon juice. Experiment with the ratio to find your perfect balance of flavors.

Of course, the quintessential use of Central Grocery's Olive Salad is in the iconic Muffuletta sandwich. This New Orleans specialty features a blend of ham, salami, mortadella, Emmentaler Swiss, and Provolone, all layered with the brand's signature olive salad on freshly baked bread.

With Central Grocery's Olive Salad, you can skip the tedious chopping of olives, garlic, capers, and peppers. This versatile product comes ready-made, allowing you to quickly assemble muffulettas or enhance a variety of dishes. A two-pack of 16-ounce jars provides ample olive salad for multiple recipes and meals.

Elevate your culinary creations with the authentic taste of Central Grocery's Olive Salad. This high-quality ingredient delivers exceptional flavor, whether you're crafting your own Muffuletta sandwiches or simply looking to add a delicious, versatile topping to your favorite dishes.
