Why Make Salami Roses

Charcuterie plates are all the rage these days and this simple tutorial will help you elevate your food tray easily. Its the little things that stand out on a tray and these are so easy to make with the help of a small round glass.

Salami roses, or charcuterie roses, are just so pretty on the board and so easy to make.You can use different varieties of salami for a festive and colorful display.

Add crackers and cheese for a complete charcuterie tray. You can also add nuts, jelly, and dried or fresh fruit. Today I am going to share how to build a tray around the salami roses.

Ingredients For Salami Roses Tray

• Round deli meat, like salami slices
• Assorted Crackers or bread
• cheese, fresh fruit
• Pre-sliced or chunks of gourmet cheeses
• Assorted nuts and other fruits

How Do You Make A Salami Rose?

Just follow the steps below.

1. Fold the salami over the entire rim of the glass, overlapping as you go.

2. Take another slice of salami and wrap it around the first roll, starting at one end and spiraling towards the other end. Keep rolling until you have used up all of the salami slice. Add as many pieces as you like or as will fit - the more salami, the fuller the rose will be.

3. Hold the rose in place and turn the glass upside down onto the board in the position you want the rose to sit.

4. Carefully lift the glass off the salami. You can fan out the edges of the salami slices to create a more open rose shape. Note - Use a toothpick or small skewer to pierce the bottom of the rose, securing the layers together.

Before you know it, you will have a beautiful food board. This is a perfect touch for a wedding shower, Mother's day or graduation appetizer.

Timesaving Tips to make this perfect every time

• You can use a wine glass or a champagne glass. The champagne glass works better.
• Don't have champagne glasses? A juice glass will work.
• Wash the fruit and vegetables the day before so they are ready to go when you prepare your food board.
