Roll-Ups Ingredients
- 8 slices salami (thinly sliced)
- 4 oz cream cheese (plain or flavored)
- 1/2 cup bell peppers (sliced thinly)
- 1/2 cup cucumbers (sliced thinly)
- 2 tbsp fresh basil or parsley (chopped)
- Toothpicks (for securing rolls)
Instructions
- Prepare Workspace: Clear a clean area on your kitchen counter and gather all your ingredients to have everything within easy reach for assembly.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Using a butter knife or spatula, spread an even layer of cream cheese over each slice of salami. This will provide a creamy base and help hold the other ingredients in place.
- Add Vegetables: Arrange thinly sliced bell peppers and cucumbers evenly over the cream cheese on each salami slice, ensuring each roll-up will have a fresh crunch.
- Sprinkle Herbs: Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil or parsley on top of the vegetables to add brightness and aromatic flavor to the roll-ups.
- Roll and Secure: Starting from one end, carefully roll each slice tightly into a spiral or cylinder shape. Use toothpicks to secure the roll-ups so they hold their shape when served.
Notes
- Use flavored cream cheese like garlic and herb or chive for extra flavor variations.
- Substitute salami with other deli meats such as turkey or ham if preferred.
- Try adding other crunchy vegetables like shredded carrots or radishes for different textures.
- For a vegetarian version, replace salami with large roasted pepper strips or grilled zucchini slices.
- Keep roll-ups refrigerated and consume within 24 hours for best freshness.
