  • 1/2 cup giardiniera, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup salami or Genoa, finely diced
  • 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Finely chop 1 cup of mixed olives, 1/2 cup giardiniera, and 1/2 cup salami. Shred 1 cup each of provolone and mozzarella cheese.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 4 ounces softened cream cheese. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes if using. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Fold in the chopped olives, giardiniera, salami, and shredded cheeses. Mix well until evenly distributed.
  5. Optional: Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley on top.

Notes

For a smoother dip, pulse olives, giardiniera, and salami in a food processor before mixing. Chill for at least 30 minutes for best flavor. Adjust salt carefully due to salty ingredients. Can substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt or use dairy-free alternatives for vegan version. Giardiniera can be replaced with chopped pickles and vinegar.
