These delightful Italian salami roses are not just visually stunning; they also pack a savory punch. The technique of rolling thin slices of salami into rose shapes adds a playful twist to your charcuterie board, making it as fun to look at as it is to eat.
- 8 ounces of thinly sliced salami
- 1/2 cup of cream cheese
- Fresh herbs for garnish (like basil or parsley)
- Crackers or bread for serving
The secret to making these roses lies in the way you layer the salami. Start by placing a slice flat and then overlap another slice on top, continuing this process to create a circular shape. Once you have your rose ready, simply place a dollop of cream cheese in the center for an extra creamy bite. These salami roses are not only delicious but also a fantastic conversation starter at any gathering!
