Infinity Loop Salami Nuts (Printable)

Salami slices arranged in an elegant figure-eight around bowls of roasted mixed nuts.

# What You'll Need:

→ Charcuterie

01 - 24 thin slices of high-quality salami (about 5.3 oz)

→ Nuts

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

→ Garnish

04 - Fresh herb sprigs (rosemary or thyme), optional
05 - Crackers or breadsticks, optional

# How to Make It:

01 - Place two small serving bowls approximately 12 inches apart on a large serving platter or board and fill each with one cup of roasted mixed nuts.
02 - Arrange salami slices on the platter in a continuous figure-eight shape weaving between and around the two bowls, slightly overlapping slices for continuity.
03 - Tuck fresh herb sprigs around the salami to enhance visual appeal and aroma, if desired.
04 - Add crackers or breadsticks to the platter if serving, noting these are not gluten-free.
05 - Present the arrangement promptly to guests, encouraging enjoyment of the combined cured meats and nuts.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No cooking required—just 15 minutes to create something that looks like you spent hours.
  • The figure-eight becomes a conversation starter, and guests naturally gravitate toward it.
  • It's endlessly customizable depending on what quality charcuterie you find.
02 -
  • Don't slice your salami too thick—thin slices overlap beautifully and feel elegant, while thick ones fight each other and break the flow.
  • Keep your platter chilled until the last moment so the salami stays firm and doesn't start wilting or looking greasy under warm lights.
03 -
  • Arrange your salami while it's still cool from the package, and work quickly so it doesn't start releasing oils and becoming harder to position.
  • The overlap isn't just visual—it's structural, so each slice anchors the next one and keeps the whole loop from shifting as people grab pieces.
