Contest details below the recipe
Thinking of an unique burger that is spectacular and a sight for sore eyes is pretty easy when you have a passion for it. I have been so in love with a sandwich I had in New Orleans called the Muffaletta, that I can not get it out of my mind this summer.
So I took all of the fabulous flavors of the olive salad and Italian meat and cheeses and crafted this fantastic burger. Incorporating some of my favorite flavors into this amazing burger recipe was not the hard part. The really challenging part was only eating one burger.
3 varieties of olives, red peppers and Italian pickled vegetables are tossed with a seasoned oil and vinegar dressing to create this grand slam of an olive salad. It becomes more flavorful at it sits, so feel free to make it the day before.
A perfectly cooked burger is just the beginning of the meat and cheese-a-palooza going on here. Genoa salami, capicolla and mortadella are layered with Wisconsin provolone and Wisconsin mozzarella to create a cornucopia of burger and Italian flavors. You are going to go nuts over this one!
