Cheese and Salami Bites (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Parts
01 -
8 to 10 slices of large salami (cut into four pieces each)
02 -
1 pound of firm cheese, diced into cubes (try cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Colby Jack)
03 -
½ cup of pickles (small ones or slices, like dill or bread-and-butter)
→ Dressing
04 -
2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar
05 -
⅓ cup of olive oil, extra virgin
06 -
½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)
07 -
1 teaspoon of honey or sugar (optional)
08 -
¼ teaspoon of salt
09 -
2 minced garlic cloves
10 -
1 tablespoon of thyme or parsley, chopped fresh
11 -
¼ teaspoon of black pepper
# Instructions:
01 -
Cut the salami into quarters and slice the pickles if they aren't already. Dry them with a napkin to remove any liquid.
02 -
Cut the cheese block into neat cubes, about an inch in size, so they soak up the marinade evenly.
03 -
Grab a medium bowl and mix together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, herbs, red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt, and honey or sugar if you're using one.
04 -
In a big bowl or storage container, layer the cheese cubes, salami pieces, and pickles. Pour the dressing on top, making sure everything is covered nicely.
05 -
Close the container and let it chill in the fridge for a couple of hours, or overnight for a more intense flavor. Stir now and then so every piece soaks up the dressing. It's best served after returning to room temperature.
