Easy Salami Wrapped Pepperoncini: The Ultimate 3-Ingredient Holiday Appetizer
This incredibly easy, three-ingredient Salami Wrapped Pepperoncini recipe creates the ideal holiday appetizer! Perfect for serving as a quick snack or a vibrant addition to any festive cheeseboard for Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations.

As a food blogger, I’m often associated with crafting elaborate, multi-step recipes and sophisticated culinary creations. While I truly enjoy those projects, I’ll let you in on a little secret: sometimes, even I crave simplicity, especially when life gets hectic.
Believe it or not, when family comes to visit, I frequently find myself too tired to prepare an extensive dinner. Our days are often packed, running around Pittsburgh, moving from one fun activity to the next. More often than not, we end up dining out or opting for the ultimate quick fix – a frozen pizza.
I always aim to have a homemade dessert ready, but there are weeks when my schedule is so packed (and my energy reserves so low) that even that feels like an impossible task. The guilt can be real, as I know my family enjoys my cooking. However, when you work full-time, especially when your profession involves cooking and baking for a living, it’s often challenging to find the time or motivation to whip up extra dishes outside of work.
Despite the busy schedule, I do make an effort to throw together some simple snacks. Sometimes it’s my beloved nacho cheese dip, a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Other times, it’s a batch of buffalo chicken dip, always a hit. But when I truly need something effortless yet impressive, I turn to a new favorite: Salami Wrapped Pepperoncini.
This “stupid easy” snack, as I like to call it, only requires three ingredients: savory salami, creamy provolone cheese, and tangy pepperoncini peppers. It’s an absolute lifesaver, especially during the demanding holiday season. Let’s face it – the weeks leading up to Christmas and New Year’s Eve are a whirlwind of busy schedules. From family visiting to attending festive Christmas parties and catching up with friends at charming holiday pop-up bars, there’s rarely a moment to spare.
When you’re hosting a get-together amidst this holiday rush, assembling quick and delicious snacks on a charcuterie board is infinitely easier than attempting to cook a large, elaborate dinner. This is precisely where the Salami Wrapped Pepperoncini shines, offering maximum flavor with minimal effort.
