Our Cream Cheese Salami Rollups
When our son was in elementary school, it was very difficult to get him to eat his lunch. He never wanted to bring a sandwich for lunch. Instead he wanted to have a bunch of snacks. Minda and I wanted to make sure he had something tasty that he would look forward to eating rather than just toss in the trash when he got home. That’s when I remembered my family putting out salami and cream cheese for holidays and other get togethers. They were a hit with the whole family. So, we came up with our version of these Cream Cheese Salami Rollups. Adding a little extra cheese and onion to make them fun and give it a little crunch in the middle. Now we enjoy these whenever we have the munchies.
Ingredients, Substitutions, and Additions
Salami – Try some sliced oven roasted turkey. I enjoy roast beef in place of salami.
Cheese – Any type of block cheese will do. Pepper Jack gives a little zip to your rollups.
Fresh Veggies and Herbs – Try some fresh basil, it pairs perfectly. Sweet bell pepper makes a great addition and offers a little crunch to your rollups.
Toppings – Try a little bit of a balsamic glaze atop your Cream Cheese Salami Rollups. Sriracha is a sweet and spicy chili sauce that is an amazing topping that will bring the heat.
Preferred Pairings for Cream Cheese Salami Rollups
Our Cream Cheese Salami Rollups are the perfect solo snack. However, Minda and I often took a bento box to work for lunch and these would go perfectly alongside the following options:
Easy Tropical Fruit Salad – With just three ingredients this quick and easy tropical fruit salad is perfect for any time of day or occasion.
Tomato and Cucumber Salad – If you need a quick and easy side or snack, try our tomato and cucumber salad it is a refreshing option that doesn’t skimp on flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 pkg sliced Salami
- 1 pkg Whipped Cream Cheese
- 1 bundle Green Onions
- 1 – 8 oz block Colby Jack Cheese
- ½ Small Red Onion
Directions
Rinse and dry the green onions then cut into 3-inch pieces. Slice red onion and Colby Jack cheese into ¼-inch slivers.
Spread 1 to 2 tsp of cream cheese evenly onto a piece of salami. Place one piece of the green onion in the center of the salami and roll.
Repeat this process alternating the remaining green onion, red onion, and Colby Jack cheese. When finished plate and enjoy.
