Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped salami
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped ham
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped black olives
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted red peppers
  • 1/4 cup shredded iceberg lettuce (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until completely smooth and creamy. This forms your base layer.
  2. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch serving dish or a shallow pie plate.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the salami, ham, pepperoni, red onion, black olives, and roasted red peppers.
  4. Spread the meat and vegetable mixture evenly over the cream cheese base.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese over the meat layer.
  6. Cover the dish and chill the hoagie dip in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
  7. Just before serving, if desired, top with a thin layer of shredded iceberg lettuce for added crunch and color.
  8. Serve your cold deli dip with sturdy crackers, crostini, or sliced baguette rounds.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality deli meats.
  • You can prepare this layered Italian dip up to 24 hours in advance; keep it covered in the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer a slightly tangier dip, add 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar to the cream cheese mixture.
