Infinity Loop Salami Nuts (Print Version)

Salami slices elegantly arranged in a figure-eight weaving through bowls of mixed nuts for a stylish starter.

# What You'll Need:

→ Charcuterie

01 - 24 thin slices of high-quality salami (approximately 5.3 ounces)

→ Nuts

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

→ Garnish

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

# How to Make It:

01 - Position two small bowls approximately 12 inches apart on a large serving platter and fill each with 1 cup of mixed nuts.
02 - Arrange salami slices on the platter forming a continuous figure-eight loop that weaves between and around the two bowls, overlapping slices slightly to create a seamless appearance.
03 - Tuck fresh herb sprigs around the salami to introduce color and aroma, if desired.
04 - Add crackers or breadsticks to the platter if serving guests who are not gluten-sensitive.
05 - Present immediately, encouraging guests to enjoy the combination of cured meats and nuts.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It looks impressive enough to wow guests but comes together in about fifteen minutes with zero cooking required.
  • The endless loop figure-eight pattern is genuinely fun to create and becomes an instant conversation starter.
  • Combining salty, savory salami with nutty richness hits that perfect balance that keeps people coming back for more.
02 -
  • The thinner your salami slices, the easier and more beautiful the weaving becomes—don't settle for thick cuts, even if it seems easier.
  • Overlapping the slices slightly is the secret to creating that seamless, continuous look that makes the whole thing feel intentional rather than random.
03 -
  • If your salami is too thick, ask your deli to slice it paper-thin on the meat slicer—the difference transforms how easily it weaves and how beautiful the result looks.
  • Keep everything cold until the moment you're ready to present it, and the salami will maintain its shape and drape much more elegantly throughout the evening.
