I may have just found my go-to party appetizer. These Salami and Cream Cheese Pinwheels are bursting with savory, tangy flavors and literally take minutes to make. It can’t get much better than this.

They remind me a bit of an Italian sub, with simple ingredients such as salami, cream cheese, mustard, and pickles wrapped in a tortilla. Actually, that’s all the ingredients. Yep, just five ingredients are all you need for snacking bliss.

Why You’ll Love These Salami Pinwheels

• Five simple ingredients and about five minutes is all you need to make the fun and flavorful snack or party appetizer
• It tastes like an Italian sub with meaty and tangy flavors, but with much fewer carbs
• You can prep the day before and store in the fridge until ready to serve
• No need to re-heat and no special preparation is required, simply serve the sliced pinwheels and watch them fly off the plate

How to Make Salami Pinwheels

1. Let cream cheese sit at room temp for about 10 minutes to soften. Spread over three large tortillas.
2. Top evenly with salami slices, drizzle with mustard, and top with pickle quarters, leaving about 2-inches from one edge.
3. Tightly roll into a tube, slice into roughly 1-inch pinwheels, and serve.

Ingredients for Salami Pinwheels

• Large tortillas
• Cream cheese
• Salami
• Dijon mustard
• Pickles 

Margherita Hard Salami® is perfect for this recipe. It’s great-tasting, high-quality dry sausage available in local delis nationwide. The superior flavor really shines through and is enhanced by the tang from the other ingredients. 

The unique spice-forward flavor profile really sets it apart from other Italian brands. All their dry sausage products are perfect for snacking, entertaining, and incorporating into everyday recipes.

Helpful Tips for Making Salami Rollups

• Let the cream cheese sit at room temp for about 10 minutes to soften and make spreading onto the tortilla easier.
• Large tortillas work best to create the ideal pinwheel width. You can use flour, whole-wheat, spinach or low carb tortillas.
• Tightly roll the tortilla to help hold everything together. Be sure to leave about 2-inches on one end without toppings to seal the edge.
• Use a sharp knife to cut the pinwheels. This will prevent tearing or squishing them.

To Prep Ahead

You can make these pinwheels the day before serving to save time. Prepare as directed then store sealed in the fridge. You can serve it as is or pair it with Reuben Cheese Dip, for added flavor and texture.

To store leftovers: These will last in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days, but are best served within a day of preparing.
