Crave-worthy Salami Dill Pickle Dip is a quick and easy update of the salami and pickle pinwheel appetizers of the past, but this updated version is faster, easier, and has a bigger kick of flavor.

This salami pickle dip is my updated version of an easy retro pinwheel appetizer recipe that was very popular back in the 80s or was it the 90s? If you remember correctly, please let me know.

How this recipe came to be:

One of my favorite appetizers I remember from years ago is the one where you spread cream cheese over slices of salami (or ham) with dill pickle spears rolled inside, and then you slice them to form little pinwheels.

The concept was super simple, and the flavor of those tasty morsels hit all the proper bells and whistles on the taste buds.

I loved them then, and I still do now.

That said, this cream cheese salami dill pickle dip tastes better and is a whole lot easier to make. Honest!

Why this updated version works:

Cream cheese salami pickle dip is an appetizer you can mix together with only one bowl, and it comes together in just a matter of minutes with no fiddling or rolling.

Cream cheese dill pickle dip packs an excellent punch of flavor as those little pinwheels did, but these are even better because I’ve kicked up the flavor with the addition of a few basic ingredients you probably already have on hand in your pantry and fridge.

Can this easy appetizer dip/spread be made in advance?

It sure can, which makes it perfect for entertaining!

You can make this dill pickle dip up to 3 days in advance, and store it in the refrigerator in an air-tight container.

Store any leftover dip in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for an additional 3 days, if needed.

How to make salami pickle dip:

• Blend the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped salami, chopped dill pickles, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper together until smooth and creamy.
• Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• Serve with baguette slices, assorted vegetables, or crackers. 

Ideas for serving:

Cream cheese salami pickle dip is delicious when spread on toast, bagels, crackers, or baguettes. 

It also makes a tasty dip for your favorite vegetables, and it rates high marks when it’s used as an alternative for sour cream or Greek yogurt when topping a baked potato. 

Or, why not slather some between two slices of bread for the ultimate dill pickle dip grilled cheese sandwich?

The possibilities are as limitless as your imagination!
