Print Recipe

Thank you Cafe Delites for the recipe!

Ingredients

Dip:

  • 24 oz. cream cheese (softened)

  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)

  • ½ cup red bell peppers (diced)

  • 3 + ½ oz. chopped salami pieces

  • ¼ cup chives (chopped)

  • ¼ cup parsley (chopped)

  • 1 Tbsp onion powder

  • 2 tsp garlic powder

  • Salt (to taste)

Decorations:

  • 2 cups pitted mixed olives (halved lengthways and dried with a paper towel)

  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped and dried with a paper towel)

  • Ritz crackers and pretzels (for serving)

  • Salami slices (for serving)

  • Prosciutto slices (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix them until the ingredients are well-combined. 

  2. Place a piece of non-stick plastic wrap on your work surface. Scoop the cream cheese mixture onto the wrap and cover it completely. Use your hands to mold the cream cheese mixture into a ball. Carefully pick up the cheese ball with one hand and peel the wrap off and place it on a serving plate.

  3. Dry each olive and sun-dried tomato piece on a sheet of paper towel to soak up the oil before placing them on the cheese ball so they adhere better. Lightly press the olives and tomatoes into the cream cheese to ensure they stay on. Brush with some sun-dried tomato oil from the jar. 

  4. Serve with the crackers of your choice, salami, and prosciutto slices rolled up.
