A refreshing dip's take on a classic hoagie!
Ingredients You'll Need
- 1/4 pound sliced pepperoni, chopped into small pieces

- 1/4 pound deli ham, chopped into small pieces
- 1/4 pound deli provolone cheese, chopped into small pieces
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded and chopped
- 1/2 cup hot banana peppers, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tomato, seeded and chopped
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine the deli meats and cheese, onion, lettuce, tomato, and banana peppers
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, olive oil, oregano, basil, and pepper flakes
3. Pour the mayonnaise over the meat mixture and stir to combine

Notes:
- Add Olives: Kalamata or black olives are wonderful in this recipe
- Short Cut: Have your local deli cut your cold cuts in hunks and then dice the meats to the size you wish
- Variation: Omit the peppers if you do not like spicy things. Pepperoncini could be added too
- Chips: Tortilla chips or Sun Chips are a great alternative to crackers or bread
- Peppers: Roasted red peppers, pepperoncini peppers, or pickles are a nice addition to the dip
- Bread Bowl: Serve in the center of the bread loaf. Or slice hoagie rolls into smaller sized pieces and toast with some garlic and olive oil
