It would be a poor muffeletta but would have greater claim to that name than having everything but the olives on the proper bread.
And you think my rebuttal was lame?
Weak.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Hec, I've not only eaten tapenade without the capers - which by the way can kill me - I've made tapenade without capers.
And it was, though I say so myself, tapenade. Damned good tapenade, too.
And if some guy named Anatole in Villefranche-sur-Mer wants to dis my caperless yet nonfatal tapenade because the essence of tapenade is surely the capers?
He can baiser mon cul.
Damn it. I'm still arguing about fucking sandwich zen.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And when Dana is going to come kill us all.
I'm perfectly content. I know what I'm eating. Or not eating, unfortunately, since I am muffaletta-less.

Try this then salami swami, find an online muffaletta recipe that doesn't include olives.

Dude. Olive salad comes in a jar. You can put it on almost anything. The presence of olive salad will not turn, say, a hot dog, into a muffaletta.
However, muffaletta bread is specifically muffaletta bread. It doesn't have any other functions. Once you've taken muffaletta bread, and put some standard sandwich fillings on it, it becomes a muffaletta sandwich. (If you put, say, peanut butter and jelly on it, then it's just muffaletta bread with peanut butter and jelly. The fillings need to come from the standard meats and cheeses and salads.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You could get some olives and bread and pretend you're Sean. Then you'd have one.

I'll go you one better. I'll get a muffaleta recipe online, make myself one with yummy olive salad, and then make one without olives for Deb.
AND CALL IT A MUFFALETA

You can call yourself SuperFab Fonzie Dude With a Big Swinging Dick, but it doesn't make it so. It makes you comically deluded..
