This is from our newest cookbook Comfort Classics, and I can't stop looking at the picture - there's no way this won't taste good.

New Orleans Muffaletta Sandwich
Serves 4
6 Points value

1 celery stalk, finely chopped
1/2 cup giardiniera, rinsed, drained and chopped
1/4 cup pimiento-stuffed green olives, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
Pinch dried oregano
1 8-ounce whole-wheat french bread loaf or round, halved horizontally
4 ounces (4 slices) reduced-fat deli provolone
6 ounces (8 slices) deli turkey ham

Stir the celery, giardiniera, olives, garlic, and oregano together in a small bowl.

Remove and discard some of the soft crumbs from the center of the bread. Spoon the celery mixture evenly on the bottom of the bread. Top evenly with the cheese and ham. Cover with the top of the bread. Cut the sandwich into fourths and serve at once. Or wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 6 hours.
