Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Creamy Base
In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and Italian dressing. Mix until smooth and creamy. Use a hand mixer if needed for a fluffier texture.
Step 2: Chop the Meats and Veggies
Finely chop all your deli meats—salami, pepperoni, ham, and capicola—into small, bite-sized pieces. Do the same for provolone cheese, lettuce, red onion, banana peppers, and tomatoes.
Step 3: Mix It All Together
Add the chopped meats, cheese, and vegetables to the cream cheese mixture. Stir thoroughly until everything is well coated and evenly distributed.
Step 4: Season the Dip
Sprinkle in oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix again. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. Serve cold with crostini, baguette slices, or crackers.
