Prepare these savory keto salami cream cheese roll ups for your next party. Or, save them for yourself as a snack. They are low-carb and high-protein – the perfect snack or appetizer.
Keto Cream Cheese Roll Ups
Cream cheese is extremely versatile. There are so many delicious ways to use it in keto-friendly recipes. This one is salty, savory, creamy, zesty and has the best taste. It looks perfect enough to serve at a party, but it is also a quick snack or a light lunch.
The best thing about this recipe is how easy it is to make! You’ll have no problem making a few roll ups when you need something fast for lunch on those busy days.
Keto Hard Salami Cream Cheese Appetizer
The main ingredient in this recipe is large sliced salami. I love the flavor of salami. It is both smokey and naturally sweet with the perfect balance of salty and savory flavors. Sometimes I’ll eat a few slices of salami by themselves as a quick snack.
Not all types of salami are keto-friendly, but most salami is low in carbs. Just check the ingredients list before you use it. Only use sugar-free salami. If you don’t have salami, use pastrami instead. It won’t be as firm or hard, but it has lots of the same flavors.
Salami Cream Cheese Roll Ups
There are lots of different types of salami out there! Have fun and try them all out. As long as they are sugar-free, they are fun to try. The hard salami will be tougher to roll, so keep that in mind.
I like both pork and beef salami. Genoa salami is one of the most popular types of salami that you will find. Genoa salami might contain veal, beef, or pork.
No matter what, if you use a sugar-free salami, this recipe only has 3g net carbs in each serving. That means you can enjoy a few pieces without going out of ketosis!
Salami Cream Cheese Pickle Idea
This recipe is incredibly easy to customize. Add a pickle slice on top of the cream cheese before you roll it up. Pickles, cream cheese, and salami are a wonderful combination.
You can also make it taste a little saltier or spicier with a few additions. Add garlic salt, or sprinkle some paprika on the cream cheese. Add diced jalapenos to the cream cheese for even more heat!
The shredded cheese is optional. I used shredded cheddar cheese, but try it with some shredded asiago cheese or shredded pecorino cheese. Pecorino cheese is a hard sheep’s milk cheese and the sharp flavor will combine amazingly well with the salami.
Keto-Friendly Party Appetizer
Since these are easy to slice up and serve as individual pieces, they are the best thing to serve at parties. Plus, they are so lovely that your guests will be impressed.
Before you serve them at your party, place them on your serving tray, cover them with plastic wrap, and store the sliced roll ups in the refrigerator for a few hours. This way, they will harden slightly in the fridge.
Whenever I serve them at parties, I like to stick decorative toothpicks into each slice. This makes them a lot easier to pick up!
