Easy Sandwich
Recipes - Olive Supreme Sandwich

This sandwich
recipe was inspired by a trip to New Orleans. I had heard about
the famous muffuletta sandwich, and was excited to try it. I
was not disappointed.
The main ingredients are salami,
mortadella, Italian ham, provolone, olive salad dressing and
of course, the muffuletta bread. The olive salad dressing is
the core of this sandwich. It is an Italian dressing that consists
of olives, olive oil, cauliflower, carrots, celery, sweet peppers,
capers and spices.
I went to my local supermarket
when I returned home, and was happy to find the dressing. It
was labeled Italian Olive Salad and I found it by the canned
olives and pickles. When I ran out of the ingredients in my home
for muffulettas, I decided to experiment with the olive dressing.
This is the recipe I came up with: |

What you need:
1/2 c cooked chicken breast,
shredded
raw baby spinach
2 T light mayonnaise
4 very thin slices of ham,
or shaved ham
2 slices multi-grain or whole
wheat bread
2 T Italian Olive Salad dressing
What you do:
Spread 1 T mayonnaise on each
slice of bread. Layer baby spinach on one slice. Place chicken
on top of spinach. Place 3 slices of ham onto chicken. Spread
olive salad dressing over ham. Cover with remaining slice of
ham, then remaining slice of bread. May alter mayo and/or olive
salad amounts per taste.
My family as well as myself,
are infatuated with this easy to make sandwich recipe. I hope
you are as well. Feel free to experiment with meats and breads
to your taste.
