Muffaletta Dip has all the flavors of a Muffaletta sandwich in dip form. This is a recipe you’ll want to make again and again. It’s perfect for game day and of course Mardi Gras and it’s best if made in advance so the flavors have time to mingle.
What Is A Muffaletta?
Muffalettas are popular New Orleans sandwiches stuffed with meats, cheese, and olive salad. Kind of like an Italian sub, but much better.
Typically a muffaletta will have ham, salami, and maybe mortadella. The olive salad usually is made from olives, pepperoncini, garlic, vinegar, and maybe some capers, roasted red peppers, or pickled cauliflower.
Ingredients Used
For this Muffaletta Dip, I’ve used Monterey Jack cheese, salami, olives, red onion, roasted red peppers, olive oil, red wine vinegar, pepperoni, and some herbs. It tastes great on toasted Italian bread.

Make It Spicier
If you want your dip to be a little spicier, up the crushed red pepper flakes to 1/2 a teaspoon.
Make in Advance and Storage
This recipe should be made at least 1 hour in advance and up to 24 hours in advance. Leftovers will keep for 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I love these mixing bowls with plastic lids for making and storing this recipe.
Recipe Tip
Try tossing the leftovers into a regular green salad and you instantly have a gourmet salad.
