Muffuletta Dip

This dip is fantastic. I found the original recipe on the Cajun Delights blog, one of my favorite places to go for all things Cajun!


Normally we make our own olive salad when making muffulettas. I used a pre-made salad this time, and it was pretty darned spicy I have to admit. I loved the kick!

We served this dip with toasted baguettes, but you can also have it with crackers, such as wheat thins. If the dip is too thick, just stir in a bit more of the half-and-half.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Italian olive salad, drained
• 1/2 cup salami, diced (I used sandwich meat)
• 1/2 cup cooked ham, diced
• 1/4 lb provolone cheese, diced (I used about 6 slices of deli cheese)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon Creole mustard
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon (or more) Cajun seasoning
• Tabasco, to taste
• 3 tablespoons (more or less) half and half

1. Combine all but the cream in a bowl. Add half and half slowly, until dip is the desired consistency.

2. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Stir before serving and add a bit more cream if needed.
