Step 1: Soften the Cream Cheese.
Allow the cream cheese to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to soften. This will make it easier to spread evenly on the salami slices. You can speed up the process by cutting the cream cheese into smaller cubes.
Step 2: Prepare the Salami.
Lay out the salami slices flat on a clean work surface. Arrange them in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping. This will allow you to easily spread the cream cheese and add the spinach.
Step 3: Wash and Dry the Spinach.
Thoroughly wash the fresh baby spinach leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean paper towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture. This will prevent the roll-ups from becoming soggy.
Step 4: Gather Your Tools.
Have a butter knife or small spatula ready for spreading the cream cheese. If you plan on slicing the roll-ups into bite-sized pieces, have a sharp knife and cutting board on hand. Also, prepare toothpicks or small skewers if you want to secure the slices.
Step 5: Clear Your Workspace.
Make sure you have a clean and organized workspace. This will make the preparation process smoother and more efficient. Remove any unnecessary items from the counter to avoid clutter.
