  • Wash and pat dry the fresh greens to ensure crispness.
  • Chop your vegetables—tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions—into thin slices or small chunks for an even texture.

Assemble the Base

  • If making a sandwich, lightly toast your whole-grain bread for added crunch and flavor. For wraps, warm them briefly in a pan or microwave to make them pliable.
  • Lay a generous layer of your fresh greens as the foundation.

Add the Salami and Vegetables

  • Arrange the beef salami evenly over the greens. The smoky, savory flavor will serve as the centerpiece of your dish.
  • Add the chopped vegetables for a burst of color and nutrients.

Top with Cheese and Dressing

  • Sprinkle your choice of cheese over the top, whether it’s a sharp cheddar for boldness or goat cheese for creaminess.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, a zesty vinaigrette, or a squeeze of fresh lemon for a bright finishing touch.

Final Assembly

  • Close the sandwich or roll up the wrap tightly, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed. If you’re making a salad, toss everything gently to combine.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Slice your creation into manageable portions if needed and serve immediately. Pair it with a refreshing side, like a fruit salad or a light soup, for a well-rounded meal.
  • This process is all about simplicity and flavor, ensuring you get the most out of your beef salami while enjoying a quick, nutritious dish. Whether it’s a sandwich, wrap, or salad, you’ll have a satisfying meal ready in no time!
