Snail Pinwheels
Prep Time:10 minutes
chilling time:1 hour
Total Time:1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 extra large flour tortilla
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise plus a little extra for attaching the candy eyes
  • 7 slices salami
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • cup chopped lettuce
  • 2–3 baby dill pickles
  • 8 candy eyeballs

Instructions

  • Cut the pickles into ¼-inch slices.
  • Chop the lettuce.
  • Spread the mayonnaise evenly over the tortilla.
  • Arrange the 7 slices of salami across the tortilla, then layer the 4 slices of cheese on top.
  • Sprinkle the chopped lettuce evenly over the tortilla.
  • Starting from one end, tightly roll the tortilla until it reaches the other side. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Remove the plastic wrap. Using a serrated bread knife, cut the roll down the middle. From each half, cut pieces about 1½–2 inches thick. The end pieces may not stay rolled, so you can discard them or snack on them.
  • Make sure the cut sides of the pickles are dry. Push a toothpick through the side of each pickle slice about halfway through.
  • Use a toothpick to add a tiny bit of mayonnaise to the back of each candy eye and attach them to the pickles.
  • Insert the pickle “eyes” into the top of each pinwheel to create the snail look.
