Ingredients for olive salad:

• 1 cup marinated olives , assorted, pitted, of different colors
• 1/3 cup pimiento (pickled small green and red peppers)
• 1/3 cup pickled mix of crunchy vegetables , such as pickled carrots, pickled cauliflower, pickled celery
• some marinated pepperoncini , if desired
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Ingredients for sandwich:

• 1 loaf bread (Italian-style or focaccia, or ciabatta bread, enough to make 4 sandwiches, or just use 4 regular sandwich buns)
• 6 ounces salami , thinly sliced
• 6 ounces ham , thinly sliced
• 6 ounces provolone cheese thinly sliced

Instructions:

1. To make olive salad, combine olives, green and red peppers, pickled vegetables, capers, pepperoncini, and olive oil in a food processor. Process until finely chopped but still coarse and crunchy, just like you see on my photos.
2. Slice the loaf of bread in half length-wise (optionally, you can remove a little bit of the insides of the bread to make room for the olive mix). Or, if you’re using sandwich buns, slice each bun in half.
