Preparation:

Make the salad the day before. Mix salad ingredients and let stand overnight. Need not be refrigerated for the first night. (You can find the roasted red sweet peppers in jars at any Italian or fancy food shop). Prepare Muffaletta: Cut the bread in half horizontally, as you would for a sandwich. Soop out some of the center of the bread. Use plenty! On the botton half, place the salami, olive salad, provolone, mild cheese, and mortadella. Top with the other half of the loaf. Slive into wedges.
