Equipment
- tooth picks
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 3 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 10 large flour tortillas
- 160 slices salami
- 20 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- green leaf lettuce, torn into small pieces
Instructions
Make the cream cheese filling:
- Place softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, dried dill, chives, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk all the ingredients together until combined and mixture is smooth and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
Assemble roll-ups:
- Using a sharp knife cut off about an inch of the tortilla on two sides so you have two straight edges.
- Spread a thin layer of the herbed cream cheese mixture onto the tortilla.
- Cut the tortilla in half, and then in half again so you end up with four equal sized strips.
- Place 4 salami slices along one edge of the tortilla strip, overlapping each slice of salami.
- Roll the tortilla with the salami slices into a tight roll. The salami slices will form a pretty rosette on top of each roll.
- Pierce a tomato half with a toothpick
- Place a piece of lettuce onto the side of the roll and use the toothpick with the tomato half to secure the roll.
- Continue making roll-ups until you have used up all the herbed cream cheese, tortillas, tomato halves and sliced salami.
- Cover rolls loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for two hours to allow the flavors of the cream cheese to develop and firm up.
- To serve, stand each roll upright on a platter. Serve chilled.
