Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large salami slices (about 5 oz / 150g)
- 6 oz cream cheese (full-fat or whipped)
- 6 cheddar cheese sticks (about 4 oz / 120g), or cut cheddar into strips
- 1 small cucumber (about 3.5 oz / 100g), cut into thin strips
- 1/2 red bell pepper (about 2 oz / 60g), thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh herbs (chives or basil, finely chopped, optional)
- Baby spinach leaves (a handful, optional)
- 6 thin pickle slices (optional)
- 1/2 avocado, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Lay out a clean cutting board and gather all ingredients. Arrange salami slices in a single layer.
- Slice cucumber and red bell pepper into thin strips, about as long as the salami slices. Chop herbs if using.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon cream cheese onto each salami slice using a butter knife or spatula.
- Place one cheese stick or strip at one edge of each salami slice, atop the cream cheese.
- Add a couple of cucumber and bell pepper strips to each roll-up. Sprinkle in spinach or herbs if desired.
- Drizzle a thin line of Dijon or yellow mustard over the veggies and cheese, if using.
- Starting from the cheese end, tightly roll each salami slice around the filling. Secure with a toothpick if needed, or place seam-side down.
- Repeat until all ingredients are used.
- Arrange roll-ups on a plate and serve immediately, or store in a lunch container with parchment paper between layers.
Notes
Use sturdy salami slices to prevent tearing; double up slices if needed. Don’t overfill to keep roll-ups intact. Cream cheese spreads easier at room temperature. Pat veggies dry to avoid sogginess. Secure with toothpicks for transport. Store in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers for up to 3 days. Not recommended for freezing.
