Salami Infinity Loop Display (Printable)

An elegant salami and nuts presentation perfect for gatherings and light bites.

# Ingredient List:

→ Charcuterie

01 - 24 thin slices of high-quality salami (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)

# Directions:

01 - Place two small serving bowls approximately 12 inches apart on a large platter or board. Fill each bowl with 1 cup of roasted mixed nuts.
02 - Lay the salami slices on the board, overlapping slightly to create a continuous figure-eight loop weaving between and around the two bowls.
03 - Tuck fresh herb sprigs around the salami for enhanced color and aroma, if desired.
04 - Add crackers or breadsticks to the platter if including, noting these are not gluten-free.
05 - Present immediately, inviting guests to enjoy the combination of cured meats and nuts.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes 15 minutes but looks like you spent hours plotting the perfect spread.
  • The visual trick of the infinity loop becomes the first thing people photograph and talk about.
  • You get to showcase quality salami and nuts without any actual cooking required.
02 -
  • The salami will hold its shape better if you keep it cool until the last moment—pull it from the fridge just before arranging.
  • If your first attempt at the figure-eight doesn't feel smooth, peel back a few slices and rearrange without stress; nobody will know.
03 -
  • Buy your salami a day or two early and store it in a sealed container so it doesn't dry out before your event.
  • If you want to add a vegetarian option, arrange thinly sliced marinated grilled vegetables in a second infinity loop on a separate board—it doubles your impact.
