Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. You can also substitute the hard salami with turkey or chicken slices. Adding fresh herbs like basil or parsley to the filling can enhance the flavor. If you prefer a spicier kick, try adding diced jalapeños or hot pepper flakes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rollups ahead of time?

These rollups go well with various sides such as a simple green salad, bruschetta, or a charcuterie board. For a heartier option, serve them alongside Pasta With Tuna And Peas to create a balanced meal that's enjoyable for everyone.
Can I use other types of cheese?
Absolutely! While mozzarella is traditional, you can experiment with provolone, gouda, or even pepper jack for a spicy twist. Choose a cheese that complements the flavors of the salami and tuna filling for the best results.
