Ham and Cream Cheese Roll-ups (or an Easy DIP)

Ham and Cream Cheese Roll-ups

Ham and cream cheese roll-ups are everyone's favorite around here.

I almost didn't post this ‘recipe' for ham and cream cheese roll-ups because there's not much to it, and they've made an appearance at soooo many get-togethers in my life that I thought everyone might already know about them.

Just in case there's someone out there who does not, or if you need to be reminded of an old favorite, here you go…

PHD-cover-front1-198x300Another thing…  If you need a low-carb snack (or one that has no gluten since so many can't have that nowadays), this one will make you SO happy.  (Need to lose a few pounds too?  Have you seen the book, The Perfect Health Diet?  I'm only part-way through and low-carb isn't exactly what it's about, it's actually very different in some ways and makes a lot of sense, but I'll write about all that soon.)

For now, though, I wanted to share one of the easiest and tastiest low-carb appetizers ever.  (There are more low-carb meal or snack ideas here.)

Ham and Cream Cheese Roll-ups (or an easy DIP)

I love the zing of the onion or twang of the pickle alongside the salty ham and creamy cheese.  Mmmm.  And these always go fast at get-togethers because most everyone likes one or the other, so you may want to make a lot!
Author: Kelly the Kitchen Kop

Ingredients

  • About 2 dozen pieces of sliced ham (or turkey) — we get it from our pasture-based farmer or find safe, healthy meat online here — it's not always easy to find ham from the farm that is sliced right for this recipe, SO hopefully you have a good butcher nearby who sources from pasture-based farms, we have TWO now, yay for the growing real food movement! So you could just go there and they'll slice it however you'd like. You want it thin enough to be able to roll it up, but not so thin that it breaks easily.
  • 2 packages of organic cream cheese
  • About 2 dozen green onions or dill pickles sliced, depending on how thick you want them, about the length of the piece of ham that you're rolling it in. The only problem is that ALL pickles at the grocery store have rotten preservatives, so be sure to remember to grab some when you're at the health food store, or make them yourself to avoid the chemical cocktail. Anyone have a good homemade pickle recipe to share?
  • Sometimes I'll add cherry tomatoes!

Instructions

  • Here's how easy it is:  Spread the cream cheese on a piece of ham and wrap it around green onions or dill pickles.  I've never tried sweet pickles, I wonder how those would be?
  • You could then cut these ham and cream cheese roll-ups into bite sized pieces and stick a toothpick in there to serve on a platter, or leave them rolled up with part of the onion hanging out, like you see pictured above.
  • Note that if your ham is a bit moist, you may need to dab it with a paper towel so the cream cheese won't slide all over and will spread more easily.
  • That's it!
  • DIP variation:  If you don't have anyone who is eating low-carb, you could turn this into a simple dip.  Just soften the cream cheese and stir in the chopped up ham and green onions or pickles.  Serve with your favorite crackers.

Here's something similar that's equally as easy and great as long as you're not avoiding grains:

Just spread cream cheese on an organic tortilla, add veggies, roll up and slice!

    Pickled asparagus is yummy too. Got to watch your sodium though.

    Its pretty good with sweet pickles as well. You can pretty much put any veggie combo in and it’ll be yummy; bell peppers, butter lettuce, fermented green beans, it’s all good.

    I am glad you are reading the book. It’s tough going at times, I know. It makes me so mad that Komen considers “cancer research” to be drug development with sponsors being makers of unhealthy food, when so much is KNOWN about cancer. Do make clear to folks that it’s not really a diet book only in the sense of weight loss. It’s about HEALTH. The blog is great too. They ask for recipes and Sou Ching is doing a book to be released by Christmas, I think. Hope I am not making that up!

      Oh yes, I’ve had those before and had forgotten, thanks for the reminder!

      I also like a tomato wrapped in with the green onion. 🙂
