Equipment

  • Toothpicks
  • A wide, shallow bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 package Genoa salami
  • 1 package uncured applewood smoked salami
  • 1 bag baby kale, baby spinach, arugula, etc. (or whole leaves, just no bags of pre-shredded leaves)

Instructions

  • Open the salami packages and have toothpicks laying nearby.
  • Remove 6 slices of salami from one package.
  • Fold one in a semi circle and lay it in front of you. Fold another in a semi circle and lay it halfway overlapping the first, and do this with four slices. Try to hold them down, and start rolling in one direction, picking up the next slice of meat as you roll. Use your hands to keep the roll tightly bound together, and the bottom flat.
  • Fold the last two slices in half and wrap them around the roll gently.
  • Push a toothpick through towards the bottom of the rose, all the way from one side to the other, making sure you secure all of the outer layers.
  • Set in your shallow bowl and make as many more as you like.
  • Use the green leaves to decoratively obscure the toothpicks and enjoy!
