Ingredients

• 1/2 pound turkey slices
• 1/2 pound ham slices
• 1/2 pound genoa salami slices
• 1/4 pound pepperoni slices
• 4 ounces provolone cheese slices
• 1 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers, chopped
• 4 roma tomatoes, chopped
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
• 2-3 cups shredded romaine lettuce
• 1 loaf Italian bread
• Crackers for serving

Instructions

1. Step 1: Chop the turkey, ham, salami, and pepperoni slices into similarly sized squares. In a large bowl, combine these meats with provolone cheese slices, chopped pepperoncini peppers, chopped tomatoes, and finely chopped red onion.
2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and ground pepper until smooth.
3. Step 3: Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the meat, cheese, and vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly. Then fold in the shredded romaine lettuce. Cover and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld; stir again before serving if prepared ahead.
4. Step 4: Carefully hollow out the Italian bread by cutting a deep hole in the top of the loaf, removing the center bread to create a bowl-like cavity.
5. Step 5: Slice the removed bread into small pieces suitable for dipping.
6. Step 6: Spoon the prepared hoagie dip into the hollowed-out bread bowl.
7. Step 7: Serve immediately with the bread slices and crackers alongside for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• For a spicy kick, add extra chopped pepperoncini or a dash of hot sauce to the mayonnaise mixture.
• Substitute provolone with mozzarella or cheddar for a different cheese flavor.
• Use different Italian breads like a baguette or sourdough for varied texture and taste.
• Prepare the dip a few hours ahead to enhance the melding of flavors; just keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Storage

Store leftover hoagie dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep bread slices separate to maintain their texture. Reheat the dip slightly in the microwave if desired, but it’s also delicious served cold.

FAQs

Can I make this dip vegetarian?

Yes, you can omit all the meats and add extra cheese, chopped vegetables, or even beans for protein. Using vegetarian deli slices and cheese will also work well.

What can I use if I don’t have Italian bread?

Any sturdy, crusty bread like a baguette, sourdough, or even a round rye loaf can be hollowed out and used as a dip bowl. Alternatively, serve the dip in a large bowl with crackers or sliced vegetables.

2. Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and ground pepper until smooth and well combined.
