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.

Made for Scooping: Thick, creamy, and loaded with texture, this dip clings perfectly to chips, bread, or crunchy veggies.

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.

How to Make Sub in a Tub Dip

Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayo, sour cream, vinegar, banana pepper liquid, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Pour: Add the dressing to the meat and vegetable mixture.

Stir: Toss to combine. Serve sub in a tub dip immediately.

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.
