Salami slices artistically looped through mixed nuts for a delightful appetizer display.

# What You'll Need:

→ Charcuterie

01 - 24 thin slices high-quality salami (approx. 5.3 oz)

→ Nuts

02 - 1 cup (4.2 oz) roasted mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans)
03 - 1 cup (4.2 oz) roasted mixed nuts (for second bowl)

05 - Crackers or breadsticks (optional, may contain gluten)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Place two small bowls approximately 12 inches apart on a large platter or board, filling each with 1 cup of roasted mixed nuts.
02 - Form a continuous figure-eight loop with salami slices, weaving elegantly between and around the bowls, overlapping slightly for a seamless appearance.
03 - Nestle fresh herb sprigs around the salami to enhance color and aroma, if desired.
04 - Place crackers or breadsticks on the platter if using, noting potential gluten content.
05 - Present the arrangement promptly, inviting guests to enjoy the combination of cured meats and nuts.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks stunning with zero cooking required—just 15 minutes of artful arranging.
  • Guests naturally share from the bowls and the salami, turning snacking into conversation.
  • The figure-eight shape is mathematically pleasing and genuinely memorable.
02 -
  • Slightly overlapping the salami slices is essential—it's the difference between looking like art and looking scattered.
  • Arrange this close to serving time; salami can dry out if it sits too long uncovered, and the visual impact fades if it's not pristine.
03 -
  • Chill your platter for a few minutes before arranging if your kitchen is warm; cool surfaces help the salami keep its shape and look fresher longer.
  • The overlapping technique is everything—it transforms individual slices into one continuous visual story that's far more memorable than scattered pieces.
