Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced provolone cheese, shredded
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced ham, chopped
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced salami, chopped
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced pepperoni, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded iceberg lettuce, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup banana peppers or mild pepperoncini, drained and chopped

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.
  2. Fold in the shredded provolone cheese, chopped ham, chopped salami, and chopped pepperoni into the cream cheese mixture. Stir until the meats and cheese are evenly distributed.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped iceberg lettuce, chopped red onion, and chopped banana peppers. Mix just enough to combine; avoid overmixing to keep the lettuce crisp.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. Cover the bowl and chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve your **easy party dip** cold with sturdy crackers, toasted baguette slices, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • For a slightly tangier flavor, add 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar to the cream cheese base.
  • If you prefer a warmer dip, you can bake this mixture at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted, though the original recipe is served cold.
  • This **no bake dip for parties** keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
