Why Everyone Goes Back for Another Scoop
- Deli Shop Flavor at Home: This tastes like something you’d grab from a specialty sandwich counter, but you can throw it together in minutes.

- Always a Hit: This dip will go fast at parties, game days, and potlucks. It has the best flavor and is a major crowd favorite.
Sub in a Tub Ingredients
- Dressing: Add as much as you like. I use the full amount for more of a dip consistency.
- Lettuce: Iceberg gives the best crunch, but romaine hearts work too.
- Pepperoncini: Use sweet or hot, or leave them out.
- Deli Meats and Cheese: Swap or omit based on what you love. Deli turkey, chicken, roast beef, pepperoni, or extra cheese are all great.
- Extra Mix-Ins: Try bacon, cucumbers, bell peppers, olives, avocado, pepper jack, or Parmesan.

Notes
Storage & Make Ahead Instructions
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The longer it sits, the more wilted the dip will become, so it is best consumed within 24 hours of being mixed with the dressing.
- Make Ahead: All the ingredients except the lettuce may be chopped and mixed up to 24 hours in advance. Just before serving, stir in the dressing and the lettuce.
