Easy Marinated Cheese Appetizer with Salami & Pickles

Ouadie Rhabbouron

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the cheese
    Cut cheese into bite-size cubes and place in a medium bowl or jar.

  2. Make the marinade
    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and parsley.

  3. Marinate
    Pour the marinade over the cheese cubes and gently toss to coat.

  4. Chill
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours (overnight gives the best flavor).

  5. Serve
    Arrange the marinated cheese on a platter with salami slices and pickles. Add toothpicks for easy grabbing.

⭐ Optional Add-Ons

  • Olives 🫒

  • Cherry tomatoes 🍅

  • Crackers or toasted baguette slices 🥖

  • Roasted red peppers

💡 Tip: Shake or stir the cheese halfway through marinating so the flavors coat everything evenly.

If you want, I can also show you:
