This simple and refreshing Salami Sandwich is full of salami, garlic and herb cream cheese, tomato and arugula. It’s a flavor packed and quick meal that is sure to satisfy!

I love a good sandwich. There’s just something about them that I can’t resist, and I end up making them pretty often! I know what you might be thinking, do I really need a recipe to make a sandwich? Think of this recipe as inspiration for how you can make more than just a ham and cheese sandwich this week! If you want more inspiration, you should try this Cuban Sandwich, this really filling Corned Beef Sandwich, and this light and refreshing Cucumber Sandwich.

Salami Sandwiches

Whether you are planning a picnic, a kid’s lunch, or a party platter, a salami sandwich is the perfect choice! It’s a simple sandwich that is full of flavor and is always a crowd pleaser. If my kids aren’t asking for a grilled cheese or Monte Cristo, they want this salami sandwich. It’s that good! And the best part is it’s really easy to make when you are in a hurry.

I love having aged and cured meats like salami in the house. Pepperoni is another one we always have on hand too, it also makes great sandwiches (like this pizza panini). They are really full of flavor, and they stay good for a long time in the refrigerator. I also love to add salami to my charcuterie boards, so it’s just a great thing to have in your refrigerator for a lot of reasons.

Ingredients

This salami sandwich will taste best with fresh ingredients! You should be able to find everything really easily at your grocery store. I like to make my own cream cheese spread to add a little more homemade flavor. You could also add some olive oil on the bread, and a little salt and pepper. I feel like the meat already has a lot of salt and pepper in it so I usually leave it off. You can find measurements below in the recipe card.

Hoagie Roll: This is the ultimate sandwich bread! It’s fluffy and super filling. It’s kind of like what you get when you go to a sub shop. You should be able to find it in the bakery section of your local grocery store.Herb and Garlic Cream Cheese: This spread is so easy to whip up and adds all of the flavor to this sandwich. You won’t even need mayo or anything else to get a delicious and not dry mouthful every bite.Salami: This is the key to a salami sandwich of course! Salami is a dried meat that has been cured and lots of spices added to it. It’s really flavorful all on its own, so it makes an amazing sandwich.Tomato: Tomato gives this sandwich extra flavor and moisture. I like to slice them on the thinner side so that you get the perfect amount in every bite.Arugula: Arugula is a really flavorful and spicy green leaf. It’s tastier than spinach or regular lettuce in my opinion. If you’ve never had it before, now is a great time to try it!

Salami Sandwich Recipe

I know, it’s a sandwich recipe! This salami sandwich is super easy to assemble, so you really don’t have to follow these exact steps. But what you may not know is that how you order things on the sandwich is actually how you end up tasting it in your mouth. It will taste different if you put the arugula on bottom instead of on top! In my opinion, this is the order with the best flavor combinations. You can try switching up the order to see the different tastes!

Prep Bread: Slice the hoagie roll horizontally to assemble the sandwich open-faced.Add Cream Cheese: Spread the herbed cream cheese on both sides of the loaf.Add Meat: Layer the salami slices on the bottom half of the loaf. I like to fold the salami slices in half, and then again in half. It adds texture and bulk to the sandwich by having folded pieces of salami. You can also buy high-quality salami from the deli and cut them into thicker pieces.Add Tomato: Next, layer on the sliced tomato.Add Arugula: Add the fresh arugula.Close and Enjoy: Carefully close the sandwich and slice it in half to enjoy!

Ground Pork: You can’t go wrong with pork wontons and dumplings. They’re just so tasty!

Fold the wrapper over the meat mixture to form a triangle. Seal the wet edges together.Seal: Fold the two bottom corners in and seal them with water pressing firmly.Repeat: Cover with a damp paper towel and repeat the steps to form all 40 wontons.Boil Water: When you’re ready to cook the wontons, put 6 cups of water into a pot and bring the water to a boil.Add Wontons: When the water comes to a boil, place 6-8 wontons into the boiling water.Check if Cooked: When the wontons float to the top, the wontons should be cooked. You can check the inside of one of them to make sure the meat is fully cooked.Remove: Take them out gently with a strainer and serve them hot with a drizzle of soy sauce.Repeat: Repeat the cooking process with the rest of the wontons until they’re all cooked.

Quick and Easy Keto Pancakes

I was hesitant at first when everyone around me started eating a keto-friendly diet, but then when I saw how great they felt and that they weren’t starving themselves I became interested. One of my biggest hesitations towards a low-carb lifestyle is that I thought I’d have to give up some of my favorite foods such as pancakes. I now know pancakes, as well as many other carb-laden foods, can also be made keto-friendly! (I’m looking at you, pizza and breadsticks!) These easy keto pancakes are so light and fluffy with a hint of sweetness. They’re up there with my all-time favorite pancake recipe!

I would advise staying away from oat milk here, though, it’s naturally high in carbs.

Using a ¼ cup measuring cup or a ladle spoon the batter out into the pan. Once the batter begins to bubble and firm flip the pancake and allow it to cook on the other side.

Seasonings

Dried Parsley: Dried parsley is kind of sharp and acts like a citrus would, because it brings out the other flavors in this spread.Dried Chives: I like to use dried chives because using dried ingredients means the dip will last longer. If you want to use fresh chives you can! Just know the shelf life of this spread will be shorter.Basil: Dried basil adds a flavor that actually tastes sort of like mint, and it really brightens up the spread.
Thyme: Thyme is my favorite herb! I just love the way it has almost every flavor you can think of all in one. It’s perfect in this spread.

Garlic Powder: Garlic powder is a great addition to the spread. It’s savory and sweet and OBVIOUSLY this is a garlic spread so it’s a must!

Olive Oil: You can use canola oil, but I like the extra bit of flavor the olive oil adds.Chuck Roast: You’ll need a 3-4 pound roast. If your roast is much bigger, you’ll need to adjust the seasonings to accommodate so you have enough flavor.Salt and Pepper: This is for generously seasoning the roast before searing.Carrots: Use large carrots you have to cut yourself, they have so much more flavor than baby carrots.Potatoes: The best potatoes for putting in a roast are yellow, golden or Yukon potatoes.Onion: Yellow or white onions are flavorful but mellow enough to add flavor but not overpower.Beef Broth: Make your own or buy prepackaged beef broth.Red Wine: The alcohol will cook off and you’re left with flavor and tenderness. You can also substitute this with apple juice, cranberry juice or more beef broth.Worcestershire Sauce: Boosts and intensifies the meaty flavor.Garlic: Use fresh minced garlic for the best taste.Onion and Garlic Powder: Adds the best savory flavor!Salt and Pepper: This is to add to the sauce.

How to Make the Most Tender Roast

The wonderful thing about this pot roast recipe is that you can make it three different ways and end up with the same result any way you make it. The way of putting it together is the same for all three methods. So whether you use a slow cooker, pressure cooker, or the oven, it will always be fall-apart tender.

Sear: For the oven and slow cooker, heat the oil over medium high heat in a cast iron skillet or heavy frying pan. Then salt and pepper the roast generously. Once the oil starts to smoke, sear each side of the roast for 2-3 minutes to give it a nice dark brown crust. If using an Instant Pot use the sauté button. Wait until it says “hot” before adding the oil and once it smokes sear the roast on all sides. Then remove the roast from the instant pot.Assemble: In the slow cooker, instant pot or a large casserole dish place the carrots, potatoes and onions into the bottom.  Next place the meat on top. In a small bowl combine the beef broth, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Then pour over the roast.Cook: In the slow cooker, cook pot roast on low for 10 hours or till tender. In the Instant Pot cook on high for 60 minutes and natural release. For the oven, cover tightly with foil or a fitted oven safe lid and cook at 425 for ONLY 30 minutes then turn the oven down to 300 for 4-5 hours.
