Ingredients
Scale
Meats and Cheese
- 4 ounces Ham
- 4 ounces Pepperoni
- 4 ounces Salami
- 4 ounces Provolone cheese
Vegetables
- 1 head Iceberg lettuce
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 ounce Banana Peppers
Dressing
- ¾ cup Mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 ounce Hoagie Spread (Hot pepper relish or Hots)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients. Finely dice the ham, pepperoni, salami, and provolone cheese. Cut the tomato in half and scoop out the pulp and seeds to reduce excess liquid, then finely dice the tomato, iceberg lettuce, and banana peppers. Combine all diced meats, cheese, and vegetables in a large bowl.
- Make the Dressing. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, olive oil, Italian seasoning, and hoagie spread until well combined to create a flavorful dressing.
- Combine and Toss. Pour the dressing over the mixture of diced meats, cheese, and vegetables. Use a large spoon to gently fold everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing and well mixed.
- Chill and Marinate. Cover the dip and refrigerate until ready to serve. For best flavor, allow to marinate for at least a few hours, preferably up to 24 hours before serving.
Notes
- This dip can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve chilled with sturdy crackers, pita chips, or fresh bread slices for dipping.
- Removing tomato seeds prevents the dip from becoming watery.
- Adjust the amount of hoagie spread to control the spice level.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days.
