Sandwiches, like this salami and cream cheese sandwich, are great for lunch or dinner. They are the perfect tag along item in the summer when you are out enjoying the summer season. Take them on a picnic, on a hike, or out on a boat.
This sandwich is simple with bread, lettuce, salami, and a cream cheese spread. That creamy flavorful cream cheese spread is what really makes this sandwich. Softened cream cheese is mixed with green onion, fresh dill, and garlic. This is the flavor punch that makes these simple ingredients amazing.
You also need to be sure that you use a good hearty bread to to make this sandwich with. A sourdough is a great option or any other artisan type bread. I used ciabatta rolls when I made these.
