List of Ingredients




•1 medium onion
•2 pickled pepperoncini peppers
•1/2 head iceberg lettuce
•1 large tomato, halved and seeded
•1/4 pound deli-sliced genoa salami
•1/4 pound deli-sliced ham
•1/4 pound deli-sliced prosciutto
•1/4 pound deli-sliced roast turkey
•1/4 pound deli-sliced provolone cheese
•1/2 cup mayonnaise
•1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
•1 teaspoon dried oregano
•1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
•1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
•1 10-to-12-inch round loaf Italian bread
•8 hoagie rolls, cut into pieces, for dipping

Optional: red-wine vinegar



Recipe




Chop the onion, pepperoncini, lettuce and tomato into bite-size pieces. Dice the meats and cheese.

Combine the chopped vegetables, meats and cheese in a large bowl. Add the mayonnaise, olive oil, oregano, basil and red pepper flakes and stir until everything is all mixed up and tasty. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Carve out the center of the bread loaf to make a bowl (don't cut through the bottom) and cut the scraps into bite-size pieces. Serve the hoagie dip in the bread bowl, with the extra bread and hoagie rolls to scoop it up.


Suggestions:
Two suggestions: 1. Serve with sliced french bread and a spoon or knife for spreading- it's very hearty and not easily scooped with a torn piece of bread 2. Add the lettuce just before serving so it doesn't wilt.

use cappicola or hot ham and also add a few tablespoons of red wine vinegar to the mayonnaise mixture

one reviewer's suggestion of rough-chopping then pulsing a few times in a food processor. The consistency was perfect.
