Salami slices artfully shaped in a figure-eight surrounded by bowls of roasted mixed nuts.

# What you need:

→ Charcuterie

01 - 24 thin slices high-quality salami (approx. 5.3 oz)

→ Nuts

02 - 1 cup (4.2 oz) roasted mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, or pecans)
03 - 1 cup (4.2 oz) roasted mixed nuts for second bowl

→ Garnish (optional)

04 - Fresh herb sprigs such as rosemary or thyme
05 - Crackers or breadsticks (optional, not gluten-free)

# Steps to follow:

01 - Position two small bowls about 12 inches apart on a large platter or board; fill each bowl with 1 cup of roasted mixed nuts.
02 - Lay salami slices on the board in a continuous figure-eight shape weaving through and around the bowls, slightly overlapping for a seamless appearance.
03 - Tuck fresh herb sprigs around the salami to enhance aroma and visual appeal if desired.
04 - Place crackers or breadsticks on the platter if serving, acknowledging the gluten content.
05 - Present the arrangement promptly, inviting guests to enjoy the cured meats alongside the mixed nuts.

# Expert tips:

01 -
  • No cooking required means you can prep this while everything else is happening in the kitchen.
  • It's a conversation starter that makes people feel entertained the moment they walk in.
  • The combination of salty salami and crunchy nuts hits that savory note that keeps people coming back.
02 -
  • Thin slices of salami are non-negotiable—anything thicker than paper-thin will look clumsy and won't drape properly.
  • Arranging this five minutes before serving keeps the salami looking fresh and the nuts tasting crisp instead of sitting out and losing their texture.
03 -
  • Assemble this no more than 15 minutes before serving to keep the salami looking dewy and the nuts crisp.
  • A charcuterie board or large platter is your best friend here—it gives the figure-eight room to breathe and look intentional.
