4.8 from 83 reviews

Pickle Roll Ups are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer featuring crisp dill pickles wrapped in thinly sliced deli ham and cream cheese mixed with dry ranch seasoning. Perfect for parties or snacks, these roll ups combine creamy, tangy, and savory flavors for a crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Spread

  • 1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning

For the Rolls

  • 16 ounces whole dill pickles, ends trimmed
  • ½ pound deli ham, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and dry ranch seasoning, mixing well until fully incorporated and smooth.
  2. Prepare Ham Slices: Lay the ham slices out on a flat surface in a single layer. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture.
  3. Spread Cream Cheese on Ham: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over each slice of ham, making sure to cover all the way to the edges for full flavor in every bite.
  4. Prepare Pickles: Cut the ends off each dill pickle and pat them dry thoroughly with a paper towel to avoid excess moisture.
  5. Assemble Roll Ups: Place one pickle on the edge of a ham slice and tightly roll the ham around the pickle, forming a secure wrap. Use toothpicks if needed to hold the roll in place.
  6. Slice and Serve: Cut each roll into approximately ¾-inch pieces and arrange them on a platter or plate.
  7. Chill: Cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve to firm up the rolls and enhance flavors.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier spreading.
  • Patting the ham and pickles dry is important to prevent soggy roll ups.
  • Use toothpicks to keep the roll ups intact, especially if serving at a party.
  • These roll ups can be prepared several hours ahead and refrigerated to save time.
  • For a lower sodium option, choose low-sodium deli ham and pickles.
