Easy Pickles-In-A-Blanket Appetizers

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

These are easy and so good, I like to use the dried Italian salami or all beef salami, use mini gherkin pickles also known as cornichons or small dill pickles --- make certain to tell your deli person to slice the salami thin -- I have listed the yield at 36 appetizers that amount is only estimated it will depend on what size you slice the rolls.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 36

• 12 slices italian salami , thin slices (such as Genoa salami)
• 1⁄3;-½ cup whipped cream cheese with garlic (or use desired flavor)
• 12 large mini gherkins , drained (pick out the longest pickles from the jar, or use 2 pickles per roll, or you may use small dill pick)
• colored toothpick (use as many as needed)

Directions:

1. Spread each slice of the salami with a thin layer of cream cheese to within 1/4-inch of the edges.
2. Place 1 pickle or two small pickles in the center of the salami, then roll up jelly-roll style.
3. Slice each roll into thirds or in half then pierce each piece with a coloured toothpick.
4. Place on a serving platter.
5. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

SOOOO Good! These are always a hit anywhere I take them. Easy to make too. I just use softened cream cheese, mini dill pickles and deli ham or turkey. Simple!

What a lovely little snacky and delicious too. DH took these to a card party and they were gone in no time flat. I used thinly sliced salami and regular cream-cheese sprinkled with just a touch of garlic powder on each. Thanks for a great keeper recipe Carol~ Made for Going Green in March in KK's forum.

This was my mom's contribution to any sleepovers that my sister and I had when we were younger. Now, my sister's kids love them too!! We use the thin slices of deli beef and dill pickle spears. These always go very fast!!
