"Way down yonder in New Orleans
In the land of dreamy scenes
There's a garden of Eden
You know what I mean."
-Louis Armstrong
The refrigerator light goes on...
OK, this is over the top as far as sodium is concerned.
It is, however, a LOT lower in sodium than most muffaletta sandwiches that you would get in a New Orleans Po' Boy shop - two thirds less. Every now and then you do have to splurge and if it is the flavor of muffaletta that you are craving, this is a great salad and a good alternative to the much higher calorie, higher sodium sandwich.
