Tips & Variations

For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of banana peppers or substitute with mild roasted peppers.
Try adding chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil for extra freshness.
Use flavored salami, such as spicy or smoked, to enhance the dip’s depth.
If you prefer a creamier texture, stir in a spoonful of cream cheese before serving.

Storage

Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Before serving again, allow it to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes and stir to loosen any firmness. This dip is best enjoyed fresh but can also be chilled overnight for flavors to meld.
