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

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.

Dressing ingredients all whisked together in a pourable container.

Add 4 cups chopped Iceberg lettuce, 8 slices chopped deli ham, 8 slices chopped provolone, 1 cup chopped salami, 1 pint halved cherry or grape tomatoes, ½ cup finely chopped red onion, and ½ cup finely chopped banana peppers to a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, ½ cup sour cream, ¼ cup red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon banana pepper liquid, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper.
Add the dressing to the meat and vegetable mixture, then toss to combine.

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.
