Delicious and easy-to-make Cream Cheese Salami Roll Ups combine savory salami slices with a rich, flavorful cream cheese filling seasoned with chives, onion, and garlic powder. Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or party finger food, these roll ups can be garnished with green olives and served alongside crunchy pretzels for a delightful bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Salami Roll Ups

  • 12 salami slices (1 package)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (1 block)
  • 2 teaspoons dried chives
  • 2 teaspoons dried onion flakes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Green olives (optional, for garnish)
  • Pretzels (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, dried chives, dried onion flakes, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Assemble the roll ups: Lay out each salami slice flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each slice, ensuring the filling covers most of the salami.
  3. Roll the salami: Carefully roll each salami slice tightly from one end to the other, forming neat rolls that hold together well without spilling the filling.
  4. Secure and garnish: Insert a toothpick through each salami roll to keep it securely closed. You can stack up to three roll ups on a single toothpick. If desired, place a green olive on the exposed end of each toothpick for a classic garnish.
  5. Serve: Arrange the salami roll ups on a serving platter. Serve with any remaining cream cheese mixture on the side for dipping and pretzels as an optional crunchy accompaniment.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and spreading.
  • Use good-quality salami slices that are flexible enough to roll without cracking.
  • To make this snack more visually appealing, consider using colorful garnishes like red bell pepper strips or fresh herbs alongside the green olives.
  • These roll ups can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated until serving.
  • Feel free to customize the filling by adding other dried herbs, finely chopped fresh herbs, or a hint of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
