Salami Cream Cheese Sandwich
Description
The sandwich starts with a soft cream cheese base blended with fresh or frozen chopped green onion, dill, and pressed garlic, resulting in a flavorful spread with herbal and pungent notes. This creamy mixture is applied to slices of sourdough bread which add a mildly tangy and chewy base.
Leafy green lettuce provides a refreshing crunch that complements the rich cream cheese and the smoky, slightly spicy profile of Genoa salami. The assembly is simple: spread, layer lettuce and salami, and serve.
This sandwich comes together quickly and can be prepared ahead with the cream cheese spread made in advance. It keeps well refrigerated for several days, making it convenient for meal prepping or quick lunches throughout the week.
