Preparation
- Finely chop the salami, pepperoni, Kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, and sun-dried tomatoes using a sturdy cutting board and a sharp knife.
- Prepare a large mixing bowl for combining these savory ingredients.
Mixing
- In the large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with the finely chopped ingredients, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and fresh parsley.
- Blend the ingredients on medium speed for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth.
Shaping
- Lay a piece of plastic wrap on your countertop, and scoop the cream cheese mixture onto the center of the wrap.
- Shape the mixture into a log form using your hands, gradually rolling it up in the wrap.
Chilling
- Place the wrapped log in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing it to chill and firm up.
Garnishing
- After chilling, unwrap the log from the plastic wrap and optionally roll it in chopped nuts or fresh parsley.
Serving
- Slice the log into 1-inch thick pieces and arrange them on a serving platter.
- Pair with an assortment of crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable crudités.

Notes
Allow the log to chill for at least 2 hours for the best flavor infusion. Customize by swapping out meats or adding different veggies as preferred.
