Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces thinly sliced salami (Genoa or soppressata preferred)
- 4 ounces sharp cheddar or creamy Havarti cheese
- 1 cup (about 30 pieces) sturdy crackers (water crackers, multigrain, or artisanal rosemary crackers)
- Optional: green olives (pitted) or pickles
- Optional: whole grain mustard or fig jam
- Optional: fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for garnish
Instructions
- Slice the salami into bite-sized pieces about 1-inch squares or rectangles using a sharp serrated knife.
- Cut the cheese into similar-sized pieces as the salami, roughly 1-inch squares or sticks.
- Spread the crackers evenly on a serving platter or plate, leaving space between crackers.
- Place salami and cheese pieces on or alongside the crackers, making mini stacks or keeping them separate.
- Add optional extras like mustard or jam in a small bowl and scatter olives, pickles, or fresh herbs around the platter.
- Check the arrangement to ensure no slices overlap messily and crackers are not crushed.
Notes
Keep cheese and salami slightly chilled but not too cold for best flavor. Assemble just before serving to prevent crackers from getting soggy. Use sturdy crackers to maintain crunch. Knife skills are important for even slices and balanced bites. Store leftovers separately and reassemble before eating.
