Salami Roll Ups

My favorite part about this simple recipe is that you only need a handful of ingredients to put them together. And since there’s no cooking involved, these party appetizers are ready in a matter of minutes!

To make your own salami rolls with cream cheese, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients:

• Salami and/or pepperoni slices: Large, thin slices of salami and pepperoni are the best option for this appetizer because they make wrapping your pickles a little easier. I suggest getting your salami sliced at the deli so you know your pieces are nice and thin.
• Cream cheese: Make sure you start with softened cream cheese to make these roll-ups. I suggest letting the cheese sit out at room temperature for three to four hours before you start making them.
• Mozzarella cheese: Add some more Italian flavor to your cold appetizers with the help of some shredded mozzarella cheese in the filling.
• Seasoning: Give the filling an added kick of flavor by mixing in some garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.

How to Make Salami Roll Ups

Since you can whip up these quick appetizers in minutes, there’s nothing to preparing them for your next party! Just follow these quick instructions to make your own salami wraps at home.

Start by preparing the filling for your roll-ups. Combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder in a medium bowl. Stir to mix everything together until it’s smooth and well combined.

Spread the filling over the top of each slice of meat, spreading the cream cheese into a smooth, thin layer over the slice.

Tightly roll up the salami and pepperoni around the cream cheese filling. The filling should hold the rolls together. But if they start to unroll, just press a toothpick into the center of each roll to hold it together.

Once all the rolls are ready, place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. When the cream cheese has set up, you can remove the toothpicks from the rolls. They should stay together on their own after they’ve had time to chill.

• Add some pickles. Mini pickles are a cute way to add even more flavor to these snacks. Try making your own salami wrapped pickles using the cream cheese filling in this recipe!
• Try different meats. You can’t beat the flavor combination of salami, cream cheese, and Italian seasoning! But if you want to change things up, you can use different types of meat to make your meat and cheese wraps. Try using thinly sliced pepperoni, ham, or smoked turkey for a different flavor profile.
• Add them to your charcuterie board. These cute salami snacks make the perfect addition to a charcuterie board! Prepare them ahead of time and store them in the fridge, then arrange them on your board with the rest of your meats, cheeses, and other snacks.

Can You Make Salami Roll Ups Ahead of Time?

These no bake appetizers can easily be made ahead of time and served later! You can make your appetizers up to 2 days in advance. Since the snacks are made with cream cheese and meat, it’s important that you store them in the fridge until you’re ready to serve them.

Place them in an airtight container or cover the serving tray with plastic wrap to keep the cream cheese from drying out while the roll-ups are being stored.

How Do You Store Salami Roll Ups?

Place the salami rolls in an air tight container or cover them with plastic wrap for best results. After that, store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to snack on them again. These pickles will stay good for up to four days when properly stored.
