Ingredients
Scale
Salami Roll-Ups
- 8 slices Genoa or hard salami (medium thickness)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons finely diced dill pickles (patted dry)
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, finely diced dill pickles, chopped green onions (if using), and garlic powder or Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly incorporated, creating a smooth and flavorful filling.
- Lay Out Salami Slices: Arrange the 8 slices of Genoa or hard salami flat on a clean surface or cutting board, ready for filling and rolling.
- Fill and Roll: Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each slice of salami. Be sure to cover most of the surface but leave a small margin at the edges to aid rolling.
- Roll the Salami: Carefully roll each slice of salami tightly from one end to the other to create compact, bite-sized roll-ups. Ensure the filling stays inside for neat presentation and ease of eating.
- Chill Before Serving: Place the roll-ups on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled as a delicious ketogenic-friendly snack.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a dash of smoked paprika or red pepper flakes into the cream cheese mixture.
- Use paper towels to thoroughly pat dry the diced pickles to prevent sogginess.
- These roll-ups can be made ahead of time and stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Substitute salami with other cured meats like pepperoni or chorizo for variety.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature to ensure easy mixing and spreading.
