Salami Chips with White Bean Dip

Salami chips with a white bean dip are a dangerously tempting thing. Crunchy meaty yummy. It’d be difficult to make them even taste even better, but you can by serving them with a roasted garlic white bean dip. The creamy dip (almost like a hummus) compliments the salami perfectly. This makes for a great easy appetizer or snack for the big game. Whomever said that you can’t have a super-meaty appetizer was wrong. Actually, I don’t know if anyone ever said that. Someone probably did at some point. And they were wrong!

Salami Chips with White Bean Dip

Remove The Casing

Most grocery stores sell a variety of different styles of salami. Grab a few different flavors and mix them up on the plate of salami chips with white bean dip. Many salamis have a very thick casing, which not all people enjoy. You can remove it quite easily after slicing the salami thin. I just use a small pairing knife to get it started then pull it off with my fingers.

I like my dip to be fairly smooth but not creamy. If you like yours to be smoother, just process it a bit longer in your food processor. Don’t go crazy. Process just a bit at a time. Remember you can process it longer, but you can’t un-process it!

Also try my smoked glazed salami.
