If you’re a fan of deli sandwiches, you will love this sub in a tub dip! Made with deli meats, cheese, crisp veggies, and a creamy tangy dressing, it tastes just like your favorite sandwich shop sub in dip form!
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.
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.
If you love Jersey Mike’s Sub in a Tub, this Italian hoagie dip gives you that same creamy, crunchy, deli-style flavor but made for scooping with chips. It’s loaded with chopped meats, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, banana peppers, and dressing, so every bite tastes like the best part of a sub sandwich.
Toss: Add the lettuce, ham, provolone cheese, salami, tomatoes, red onion, and banana peppers to a large bowl, then toss to combine.
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.
Large Mixing Bowl: Makes it easy to toss everything together without a mess.
Sharp Chef’s Knife: Helps with all the chopping and keeps the pieces evenly sized.
1 cup mayonnaise½ cup sour cream¼ cup red wine vinegar1 tablespoon banana pepper liquid1 teaspoon Italian seasoning½ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
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.
If I could live on dip alone, I honestly might! This creamy crack dip is a family favorite, right alongside my French onion dip, Rotel dip, and my go-to 5-minute million dollar dip.
