# Expert Advice:

01 -

It looks fancy enough to impress guests but takes less time than pouring wine.
Zero cooking means no stress and no heat in the kitchen on warm days.
The contrast of salty salami and creamy cheese is just satisfying enough to keep reaching for one more.

02 -

Softer, thinner salami slices bend too easily and won't hold the petal shape; slightly firmer cuts make all the difference.
Room temperature salami holds its shape better than cold salami straight from the fridge.

03 -

If your cheese is too cold and cracks when you cut it, let it sit at room temperature for five minutes first.
Slightly overlapping the petals more creates a denser, more dramatic rose; overlapping less makes it look more open and modern.
