#3378 - Italian Hoagie Dip

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 onion (chopped)
1 tomato (chopped--more if you wish)
1/4 lb. sliced salami (chopped)
1/4 lb. sliced ham (chopped)
1/4 lb. sliced proscuitto (chopped)
1/4 lb. sliced turkey (chopped)
1/4 lb. sliced provolone cheese (chopped)
1/2 cup mayo (more if necessary)
1 TBSP olive oil
1 tsp. oregano
1 1/2 tsp. dried basil
1 - 12" round load of Italian bread
1 regular loaf Italian bread (cut into bite sized pieces)

In a bowl add chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, chopped salami, chopped ham, chopped proscuitto, chopped turkey, chopped provolone cheese, mayo, olive oil, oregano and basil--stir well until mixed. If too dry, add a little more mayo and stir again, then cover the bowl and refrigerate until cold. When ready to serve, cut a large hole in the top of the round loaf of Italian bread and scoop out the center (saving the bread pieces for dipping). Dump the dip mixture into the hole. Serve with the bite sized bread pieces.
