Or should I call them “Pickles in a Pig Blanket”? Ha! Anyhoo, this post marks the end of a very long hiatus from blogging. I have had a very busy couple months. Things are winding down a little. It’s so wonderful to have a week off from the hustle and bustle of school activities. I am going to try to post a few recipes this week. It would have been great if I could have posted these earlier, some of the recipes are great holiday treats and dishes that would help fill your Thanksgiving table nicely. This recipe is something I saw featured on a local news program. The morning show was hosting an appetizer recipe contest, and of all the wonderful recipes submitted, these were the winner. They deserved their award for many reasons: tasty, easy, creative, cute, kid-friendly. This is a perfect last minute hors d’oeuvre as well. I’m sure there are many of you out there who have been invited to a Thanksgiving feast and do not want to arrive empty handed. Simply pick up three ingredients at the supermarket, and you will arrive at the party with a snack that everyone will love. Be sure to make a lot!
Select mini dill pickles that are relatively small,
or more importantly, thin.↓
Spread cream cheese on slices of salami, top with a pickle,↓
roll and secure with a toothpick.

Absolutely! Wrap them in saran wrap, or keep in a lidded container. They should be just as good the next day.

Has anyone tried this with sweet pickles…?
I haven’t personally used sweet pickles. But that actually sounds really good! I think they would be especially good if you used a spicy or peppery version of salami.
Our family has been making these for year. I was soooo surprised to see them on Pinterest. We make them with dill and sweet pickles. The sweet are always the first to go.
I have yet to try the sweet. I’ve got to do that next! 🙂
I’ve been making these for about 20 years. I add horseradish to my cream cheese and I use Bread and Butter pickles. So good.
Very interesting! That is worth a try. Thank you for the suggestion!
Yes they are even better , always mhe both but sweet pickles are first to go, I use gerkins Sweet baby
I have yet to try sweet… I must do this next time! 🙂
Been a old favorite, you can cut the sweet pickle slimmer . You can also put green onion slice too.
I think a flavored cream cheese might be good also!
Yes! If anyone tries a flavor they really love, come back and let us know what you tried!
This looks like it could be a hood keto snack option. I’m always looking for ideas as keto isn’t easy!
Flavored Cream Cheese sounds Great !
I would also put some Finley Grated Bell Pepper in it too !!!
I put raisins and in mine and subbed marshmallow fluff for cream cheese. Everyone at work LOVED them!
That sounds interesting! 😀
Wow looks interesting..will definitely try for my tapas station
How about Franks wings sauce mixed with the cream cheese?
That sounds really good!
do you use the spreadable cream cheese or block?
I’ve used both. They turn out the same, pretty much.
Hi Ginger,
I was looking for an easy cold pick-up hors d’oeuvre and found your Pickles in a Blanket.
Just wondering if you can use hard salami, or will that be too hard to roll up?
Thanks,
Barbara
If you could manage to slice the salami very thin, you could get it to work. 🙂
I’ve been serving cream cheese stuffed salami for over 3 decades as an appetizer have we eaten together? Could we be related I put pickles on the side with olive platter
