lil carb Hoagie Dip


Just in time for the Super Bowl I thought I would share my recipe for what might be the best "dip" you ever had. Bring this to a party and it will be devoured!  I love to serve this with bell pepper chips to keep it low carb but if you're bringing it to a get together I would definitely serve it with some thing sliced baguette. The perfect appetizer and game day food!! I hope you love it like I do! And please have an extra bite for me since I'm 30 weeks pregnant and staying away from lunch meat right now! #jealous!!!

lil carb Hoagie Dip- Serves 10 people as an appetizer

1/4 lb ham lunch meat
1/4 lb turkey lunch meat
1/4 lb pepperoni lunch meat
1/4 lb genoa salami lunch meat
1/8 lb American cheese
1/8 lb provolone cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup finely chopped pepperoncini peppers
2 1/2 cup iceburg lettuce, chopped
1/2 cup chopped tomato, without the seeds

Sauce:
3/4 cup mayo
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp died oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flake (adjust to your taste or leave out)
1/4 tsp garlic powder

Prep the lunch meat and cheeses by cutting into small pieces and making sure to take the time to separate the pieces. (Tip: When you stack and cut lunch meat it can stick together- separate the pieces otherwise they will stick together in the actual dip)

Mix together all of the "sauce" ingredients and set aside.

Combine the cut up meats, cheese, chopped tomato, lettuce, onion, and pepperoncinis in a large bowl.  Mix this with a spatula. Then add in half of the sauce mixture. Mix well. Add in the remaining sauce and mix well again.

Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving for the flavors to merry. Overnight is best.
Serve cold with bell pepper chips. Enjoy!

*This mixture also tastes great on top of a bed of lettuce as a salad or inside of lettuce cups!
