Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 Salami slices (1 package)
  • 8 ounces Cream cheese (1 block, softened)
  • 2 teaspoons Dry chives
  • 2 teaspoons Dry onion
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • Pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes and Serving

  • Green olives (optional for garnish)
  • Pretzels (optional for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, dry chives, dry onion, garlic powder, and pepper until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
  2. Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay out each slice of salami and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly on one side of each slice, then carefully roll up each slice tightly.
  3. Secure the Roll Ups: Use a toothpick to secure each roll to prevent it from unrolling. You can stack up to three roll ups per toothpick for serving convenience.
  4. Add Garnishes: If desired, place a green olive on the exposed end of each toothpick for an elegant touch and additional flavor.
  5. Serve: Arrange the roll ups on a platter and serve with remaining cream cheese mixture and pretzels, if desired, for dipping and snacking.

Notes

  • This recipe can be doubled easily for larger gatherings by proportionally increasing ingredients.
  • If you don’t like green olives, use gherkin pickles as an alternative garnish on the toothpicks.
  • You can substitute salami with other sliced meats like roast beef, pepperoni, genoa salami, turkey, or ham for variety.
  • For convenience, a store-bought garlic cream cheese spread or Boursin cheese can replace the homemade cream cheese mixture.
  • Add chopped green onions, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, green peppers, or jalapenos to the cream cheese mixture to add extra flavor and texture.
  • For serving, stack up to three cream cheese-salami roll-ups per toothpick to make them easy to pick up and enjoy.
