Finely chopping the ingredients gives the dip the best texture and ensures every bite is packed with flavor.
This Italian hoagie dip is best served cold and fresh for maximum crunch.
If making ahead, store the dressing separately and mix everything together shortly before serving.
Add pepperoncini or crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
