Ingredients

  • 20 slices of salami (thin, large rounds work best)

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional for extra creaminess)

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)

  • ¼ cup chopped green onions or chives

  • ¼ cup chopped pickles or banana peppers (optional)

  • Fresh spinach or arugula leaves for layering

  • Toothpicks for serving

Cooking Time

  • Prep time: 15 minutes

  • Chill time: 30 minutes (optional for firmer rolls)

Serving

  • Makes about 20 roll-ups

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling:

    In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with mayonnaise (if using), mustard, and chopped green onions until smooth and spreadable. Add pickles or peppers if you like a little tang or spice.

  2. Assemble the Roll-Ups:

    Lay out the salami slices on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each slice. Place a small spinach or arugula leaf on top.

  3. Roll and Secure:

    Roll each slice tightly, starting from one edge and rolling toward the other. Secure with a toothpick if needed.

  4. Chill (Optional):

    For neater slices, place the roll-ups in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.

  5. Serve:

    Arrange on a platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.
