A delightful combination of tangy cheese, savory salami, and crisp pickles marinated in a flavorful olive oil and herb blend, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Cheese, cubed Use mozzarella, cheddar, or gouda.
- 1 cup Salami, sliced Can substitute with pepperoni or turkey salami.
- 1 cup Pickles, sliced Use dill, sweet, or spicy varieties.
Marinade
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil Use good quality olive oil.
- 1 tablespoon Vinegar Apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar works well.
- 1 tablespoon Herbs Fresh rosemary, thyme, or oregano.
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the cheese into bite-sized cubes, slice the salami, and chop the pickles.
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, and your choice of herbs.
- In a larger bowl, toss the cheese, salami, and pickles together. Drizzle the marinade over the mixture and gently stir to coat everything evenly.
- Allow the mixture to sit for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Refrigerate for a few hours for more intense flavor, if time allows.
- Transfer to a serving platter and serve.
Notes
For a vegan option, use marinated tofu instead of cheese and substitute salami with marinated vegetables. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
