# Steps:
01 -
Grab a bowl and toss in the cream cheese, chives, onion flakes, garlic powder, and the black pepper. Mash them all together until it looks pretty smooth.
02 -
Set your salami pieces down side by side on a cutting board. Make sure they’re flat and ready to get topped.
03 -
Scoop out some filling and cover each salami round. Try not to leave any bare spots around the edges.
04 -
Take one salami slice and roll it up tight from one end to the other. Pop a toothpick through to keep it all together.
05 -
Stick a green olive right on top with the toothpick if you’re into that. It’ll give a pop of flavor and look cool.
06 -
Pile them up on a platter and set some pretzel sticks next to them. Eat right away or stash them in the fridge for later.
# Notes:
01 -
Want it lighter? Try swapping in Greek yogurt or low-fat cheese spread for the cream cheese.
02 -
Toss in some chopped fresh parsley or dill if you want more herby vibes.
03 -
Love a little heat? Mix some minced jalapeños into your cream cheese before spreading.
