Ever find yourself circling the snack table at a party, hoping something jumps out at you that isn’t just chips and dip again? These salami salad cups are your answer. They’re smoky, savory, and bite-sized — the kind of thing people grab two of before they even finish the first. I’ve made them for game nights, awkward office potlucks, and even that one time I forgot I promised to bring an appetizer. No one’s ever been mad about them. We’re using salami as the cup here. Yep — no pastry, no fuss. Just crispy edges and that spicy, meaty flavor holding up creamy mozzarella pearls, peppery arugula, and sweet tomatoes. They’re balanced, pretty to look at, and disappear fast. They’re everything a recipe appetizer should be. If you’re digging through Party Appetizer Recipes or on the hunt for a recipe for salad that isn’t boring, this is it. I get it — recipes appetizer lists can be overwhelming. Some want to drag you into Indian appetizer recipes territory with 22 ingredients you’ve never heard of. Or they swing the other way with things like Chicken Pot Pie Muffin Cups (which are great, but let’s be honest — not exactly a salad). These little guys are the middle ground. Bold flavor. No oven time. You’ll want to add them to every get-together.
