Ingredients or Salami Rollups:
- cream cheese
- salami
- green bell pepper
How to make Salami Rollups:
- Roll cream cheese: Place a large piece of plastic wrap on your countertop. Place the cream cheese on top of the plastic wrap and cover with another piece of wrap. With a rolling pin roll the cream cheese out into an even layer.
- Add salami: Remove the top layer of plastic wrap and add the salami, overlapping the slices until all the cream cheese is covered, lightly press the salami into the cream cheese to make it stick.
- Flip: Replace the plastic wrap and carefully flip the salami and cheese so that the cream cheese is now on top.
- Add peppers: Remove the wrap and place the sliced green bell peppers over the cream cheese layer.
- Wrap: Roll the salami over the cream cheese. Use the plastic wrap to help pull the roll tight as you work. Press the outer layers tight to hold it all together.
- Refrigerate and slice: Keep it wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerate 4-6 hours or overnight (it can be cut without chilling, but the longer it chills the easier it is to cut.)
- Serve: When ready to serve, slice and enjoy each piece with a cracker!
How to store Salami Rollups:
Keep these rollups stored chilled in the fridge in a sealed container. If you are lucky to have any leftover, they will last about three days!

Crackers for Salami Rollups:
A crispy cracker makes these salami rollups. We love to pair them with Ritz crackers but any of your favorite crackers would taste great with them! It’s totally personal preference.
Variations:
- Swap the bell pepper for a pickle
- Try it with asparagus (it helps to blanch the asparagus and chill in ice water before adding.
- Try making it with a variety of colored bell peppers for more color.
- Season the cream cheese filling with a few tablespoons of ranch dressing mix.
Tips and Tricks:
- It’s important to allow the cream cheese to come to room temp, it will really help it spread easily.
- You can chop the bell peppers while the cream cheese softens.
- It helps to use wide thin rounds of salami for easy rolling.
