Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz feta cheese crumbled
  • ½ cup banana peppers pickled, finely chopped
  • ½ cup red onion finely chopped
  • ½ cup marinated roasted red peppers finely chopped
  • ½ cup turkey or beef salami finely chopped
  • ½ cup Italian dressing Garlic Expressions recommended

For Serving:

  • Thick crackers pita chips, or toasted baguette slices

Instructions
 

  • Prep: On a cutting board, finely chop the red onion, banana peppers, roasted red peppers, and salami into small, uniform pieces (about pea-sized).
  • Mix: Add all your chopped ingredients and the crumbled feta to a large mixing bowl.
  • Combine: Pour the Italian dressing over everything. Gently toss and stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  • Meld: Transfer the dip to an airtight container (the original feta container works great!). Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours, to let the flavors meld.
  • Serve: Give the dip a quick stir and serve with thick crackers, toasted bread, or pita chips.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead: This dip is perfect for making ahead of time, as the flavors improve with time. It will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Vegetarian Option: For a meat-free version, simply omit the salami. You can add ½ cup of finely chopped marinated mushrooms or artichoke hearts for a similar savory bite.
  • Portability: The easiest way to transport this dip is to mix it and then pack it right back into the original feta container.
