Ingredients

  • Olive Salad
  • ½ cup pimento-stuffed green olives

  • ½ cup of black olives

  • ½ cup drained kalamata olives, pitted

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp basil, roughly chopped

  • 2 tbsp parsley, chopped

  • ½ tsp dried oregano

  • ¾ tsp ground black pepper

  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar

  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • ¼ cup canola oil

  • Sandwich
  • 1 loaf boule bread

  • ½ lb Genoa salami, thinly sliced

  • ½ lb cooked ham, thinly sliced

  • ½ lb aged swiss cheese, sliced (Boar’s Head, or Other)

  • ½ lb sharp provolone cheese, sliced (Boar’s Head, or Other)

Directions

  • To Make the Olive Salad
  • In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for the Olive Salad, mix together, and transfer mixture to a food processor or chopper.
  • Chop (fine but not puree), in food processor or chopper. If needed, pour in more olive oil to cover.
  • Transfer to a glass jar or container, cover, and refrigerate at least over night.
  • To Make the Sandwich
  • Cut loaf of bread in half horizontally; hollow out some of the excess bread to make room for filling.
  • Spread each piece of bread with equal amounts of olive salad, including oil. (the oil may have separated a little bit while refrigerating over night, that is normal)
  • Layer ‘bottom half’ of loaf with the Salami, Ham, Swiss and Provolone. Replace the ‘top half’ and cut sandwich into quarters.
  • (Optional): Wrap tightly and refrigerate for a few hours; this will allow for the flavors to mingle and the olive salad to soak into the bread.
