Mmmm salami sandwich… 🙂 When life gets busy, having a few good sandwich recipes up your sleeve is brilliant! I’m generally not big on cold sandwiches so for me to love a sandwich, it has to be pretty awesome.
This salami sandwich literally takes about 5 minutes to put together but it tastes fancy and is so satisfying. It’s perfect for a work or school lunch since you can make it the night before. The spread is cream cheese based so your sandwich won’t get soggy.
Ingredients for 4 Large Salami Sandwiches:
8 oz cream cheese, cold or room temp
1/4 cup finely chopped green onion (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup finely chopped dill (fresh or frozen)
1 garlic clove, pressed
8 slices of sandwich bread (we used sourdough)
8-10 oz genoa salami
4 large leaves of green lettuce
How to Make a Salami Sandwich with Cream Cheese Spread:
1. In a small bowl, combine 8 oz cream cheese, 1/4 cup green onions, 1/4 cup dill, and press in 1 garlic clove. Mash herbs into the cream cheese until incorporated (P.S. This spread keeps well in the fridge for 3-5 days!)
2. Spread about 1-2 Tbsp of the cream cheese mixture on one side of each bread slice.
3. Top with lettuce and about 6-8 pieces of salami, or to taste, now slap ’em together and enjoy!
