Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by finely chopping the salami, pepperoni, Kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, and sun-dried tomatoes into small, uniform pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and chopped fresh parsley. Blend until creamy and smooth.
- Gently fold in the chopped ingredients from step 1 into the creamy mixture until evenly distributed.
- Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on your countertop and scoop the cheese mixture onto the center. Shape it into a log form and wrap tightly.
- Place the wrapped log in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- After chilling, remove the log from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Roll in chopped nuts or parsley for garnish if desired.
- Slice the log into rounds and arrange on a platter with crackers or fresh vegetables.

Notes
For optimal flavor, prepare the log a day in advance and ensure cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.
