Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped green olives
- 1/2 cup chopped black olives
- 1/2 cup diced venison salami
- 1/2 cup diced provolone cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted red peppers
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Chop the green olives and black olives, ensuring they are finely chopped for better incorporation into the dip.
- Next, dice the venison salami into small, bite-sized pieces. This will enhance the flavor distribution throughout the dip.
- Dice the provolone cheese into small cubes, similar in size to the salami. This will allow the cheese to melt slightly into the dip if served warm.
- Chop the roasted red peppers into small pieces. These will add a sweet and smoky flavor to the dip.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped green olives, black olives, diced venison salami, diced provolone cheese, and chopped roasted red peppers.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Italian seasoning until well combined. This will serve as the dressing for the dip.
- Pour the dressing over the olive and salami mixture in the large bowl. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring that the dressing evenly coats everything.
- Once mixed, taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more Italian seasoning or a pinch of salt if desired.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. For best flavor, let it sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the Muffaletta Dip with an Alabama Twist Venison Salami with your choice of dippers, such as toasted bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Allow ingredients like provolone cheese and salami to come to room temperature for maximum flavor integration.
- Chopping Technique: Ensure all ingredients are uniformly chopped to create a consistent texture and flavor distribution.
- Marination Magic: Let the dip rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and intensify.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with toasted baguette slices, crisp crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for varied textures.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: This dip can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance, with flavors actually improving as they sit in the refrigerator.
- Customization Option: Adjust the amount of red wine vinegar and olive oil to suit your personal taste preference.
