Must make Muffaletta Spread
I love Olives, all kinds, I love Cajun food, all kinds, I love snacks and appetizers, and cheese, so this Muffaletta Olive Spread is perfect for me! Creamy, rich, salty, tangy, deliciousness. I call this a Lick the Spoon good recipe.
It starts off with a delicious yet easy recipe for homemade Olive Salad that I make in larger batches and keep on hand in the fridge, so it’s really comes together quickly. If you’re in a rush, you can use a store bought Muffaletta salad, I’m not judging. I will say it’s worth the extra 10 minutes to make it from scratch though….
Naturally Keto
For those following the Keto lifestyle, or looking for low carb recipes, this one is a winner! I didn’t plan it that way, and you do have to watch which deli meat/salami you choose, but it’s definitely worth adding to your recipe collection.
To that basic recipe I add just four ingredients
- Cream cheese
- Sour cream
- Garlic
- Salami or Mortadella, cubed or chopped
Stir it all up and that’s it! Honest you can make Muffaletta Olive spread in less than 5 minutes if the Olive Salad is already made, and in 10 minutes if you are starting from scratch. Once the Muffaletta Olive Spread is prepared, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to a week, so I like to make mine ahead and let the flavours really develop.
