Preparation

Step 1

Add the onion, tomato, Pepperoncini, dill pickle, iceberg lettuce, Provolone, Genoa salami, ham, and the roast turkey to a large bowl and toss the ingredients to combine.

Next, mix the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, olive oil, Pepperoncini juice, dried oregano, and the black pepper in another medium-size bowl. Whisk the ingredients until well combined.

Add the prepared dressing to the ingredients in the large bowl. Fold until the ingredients are evenly coated.

Carve out the center of the bread loaf to make a bowl, and fill the center with the dip.

Tear the carved-out center into bite-size pieces and serve with the dip. Serve the hoagie roll slices with the dip as well.
