# What you'll need:

→ Charcuterie

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

05 - Present immediately, inviting guests to enjoy the cured meats paired with nuts.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours designing it, but takes just 15 minutes from start to serve.
  • The salami and nuts pairing hits that sweet spot between salty, savory, and satisfying that makes people reach back for more.
  • You can customize it based on what's in your pantry—swap nuts for olives, mix up your salami types, and it still feels intentional.
02 -
  • Thin slices are non-negotiable—they drape and overlap beautifully, while thick slices break and look clunky, so ask your deli counter for paper-thin cuts.
  • The spacing between bowls matters more than you'd think; too close and the loop feels cramped, too far apart and it loses that connected feeling.
03 -
  • If your salami seems to be sliding around, chill the board in the freezer for 10 minutes before arranging—cold surfaces help everything stay in place.
  • The infinity loop is forgiving; if your first attempt doesn't look perfect, simply rearrange and start again—there's no wrong way to do it.
