This recipe came about because of July's challenge for charcutepalooza. One of the things I noticed when I was looking online was that the majority of recipes that use mortadella were for a muffaletta sandwich. It's a New Orleans signature sandwich, and is essentially a frisbee sized sandwich a few inches thick... for two. Even in my hungriest of dreams, I couldn't imagine consuming that much food in one sitting. But looking out my back window into my garden at the nearly knee-high lettuce plants, an idea struck me. Instead of a sandwich, how about a salad? So I took all of the ingredients for a muffaletta sandwich, and adapted them .
