Emeril Lagasse's video: Muffaletta Salad Emeril Lagasse

Emeril’s Muffaletta Salad is a play on the popular New Orleans sandwich. This kicked up pasta salad combines olives, onions, celery, Italian meats and cheeses with a zesty dressing for one standout salad. And because the flavors need time to develop, you’ll want to prepare it in advance, making it an ideal candidate for your next gathering.
