Cheese Muffuletta (Vegetarian) is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Sunday Funday. We post weekly on varying topics. This week’s theme is “eat outside day”. Glad you could join us!

For my recipe I decided to share my vegetarian cheese muffuletta recipe. A traditional muffuletta includes a variety of Italian deli meats in addition to cheese and marinated olive salad. This version obviously omits the meats, opting for two kinds of cheese and additional pickled veggies instead.

I think this makes a perfect lunch to take on a picnic or eat on a deck or patio. Especially if you’re having some of this delicious early autumn weather like we’ve had this past week in southern Ohio!
