Salami Cream Cheese Roll Ups are a classic finger food ideally suited for casual get-togethers, appetizer trays, or simply as a quick and satisfying snack. Their origin isn't pinned down to a specific cuisine but they are reminiscent of Central European flavors, where salami is a staple. This simple dish combines the rich, tangy flavor of cream cheese with the subtly spiced, savory taste of salami, and the added flexibility of your favorite herbs or seasonings makes it a crowd-pleaser. With only three ingredients, they are incredibly easy to make, and they can be whipped up in no time.
These Salami Cream Cheese Roll Ups can be served as is, but they also pair beautifully with a variety of sides. For a more substantial snack or appetizer spread, consider serving them with a selection of crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetable sticks like celery and carrots. These roll ups are also delightfully complemented by pickles or olives for those who enjoy a tangy twist. You can also set out an array of dips such as mustard, horseradish sauce, or even a sweet and spicy pepper jelly to add another layer of flavor for your guests to enjoy.

3-Ingredient Salami Cream Cheese Roll Ups
Ingredients:
- Large slices of salami
- Cream cheese, softened
- Your choice of herbs or seasonings (optional, such as banana pepper slices, fresh dill, chives, or black pepper)
- Cream cheese, softened
- Your choice of herbs or seasonings (optional, such as banana pepper slices, fresh dill, chives, or black pepper)
Instructions:
1. If you're adding herbs or seasonings, start by mixing them into the cream cheese until evenly distributed. This step is optional, but it adds a personalized touch and extra flavor to the roll ups. In our case, we used banana pepper slices.
2. Lay a slice of salami flat on your work surface. Spread a thin layer of the seasoned cream cheese over the surface of the salami slice. Make sure to spread it out evenly for consistent flavor.
3. Carefully roll the salami slice into a tight log, enclosing the cream cheese within.
4. Repeat the process with the remaining salami slices and cream cheese.
5. Once you have all your salami rolls prepared, you can serve them whole, or for easier eating, slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces.
