Key Ingredients

  • 1/4 lb deli-sliced genoa salami, diced
  • 1/4 lb deli-sliced ham, diced
  • 1/4 lb deli-sliced roast turkey, diced
  • 1/4 lb deli-sliced provolone cheese, diced
  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, finely chopped
  • 1 large tomato, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 round loaf Italian bread

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Finely dice the salami, ham, turkey, and provolone cheese into small, uniform pieces.
  2. Chop the iceberg lettuce, onion, and tomato, ensuring the tomato is seeded to prevent excess moisture.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced meats, cheese, onion, and tomato.
  5. Pour the prepared dressing over the meat and vegetable mixture and toss until everything is thoroughly coated.
  6. Hollow out the center of the Italian bread loaf to create a bread bowl, reserving the removed bread for dipping.
  7. Gently fold the chopped lettuce into the dip mixture just before serving to maintain its crispness.
  8. Transfer the dip into the hollowed-out bread bowl.
  9. Serve immediately with the reserved bread pieces, hoagie rolls, or crackers for scooping.
