Pickle Wraps
Pickle wraps (aka pickle roll-ups) are a quick, 3-ingredient snack made with a pickle, cream cheese, and ham — or any deli meat you like. They come together in about 5 minutes and are perfect for a no-fuss appetizer or an easy, high-protein snack everyone will devour.

This is one of the easiest appetizers you can throw together — and I mean throw together — when you’re scrambling for something last minute. (Happens to me all the time. Potluck tonight? Totally forgot? No problem.) Pickle wraps, or pickle roll-ups, only need three basic ingredients: pickles, cream cheese, and deli meat like ham. Five minutes, a cutting board, and you’re basically a hero walking into the party with a tray of these.
If you’re a pickle lover, these are right up your alley. It’s that perfect salty, tangy crunch from the pickle, balanced by the creamy layer of cheese and the savory deli meat hug. You don’t need anything fancy either — any brand of pickles or whatever cream cheese and meat you have on hand will work. Some people even call these “Midwest Sushi” or “Minnesota Sushi,” which sounds funny but honestly kind of fits. They look a little unassuming, but trust me, one bite and even the skeptics are hooked.
I usually go classic with ham, but you can really swap in whatever deli meat you have — turkey, roast beef, salami even dried beef if you’re feeling old school. Want to level it up? Mix a little dry ranch seasoning into your cream cheese for a little extra flavor punch. Still takes no extra time, but makes them taste like you actually tried.
They’re also low carb — no bread, no tortillas — just straight-up protein and crunch. Perfect for game day, holidays, or anytime you need a crowd-pleasing snack without much effort. And bonus: they hold up great if you need to make them a few hours ahead. Just slice, arrange, and let everyone else wonder how you pulled it together so fast.

Pickle Wraps Ingredients
4 large whole dill pickles
-
4 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1 tablespoon dry ranch dressing mix, optional
-
8 slices deli ham or other deli meat
Pickle Wraps Directions
-
Dry the pickles
Pat the pickles dry with a paper towel — you want them as dry as possible so the cream cheese sticks.
Ingredients
- 4 large dill pickles
-
Cream cheese layer
If using ranch dressing mix, combine cream cheese and ranch mix in a small bowl until smooth. Spread a thick layer of cream cheese mixture evenly over each pickle.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon dry ranch dressing mix, optional
-
Wrap it up
Lay the ham slices out in a single layer and pat them dry too. If using thin cut ham, lay down two slices of ham on top of each other, then wrap each pickle tightly with ham.
Ingredients
- 8 slices deli ham or other deli meat
Quick Tip
If needed, use a toothpick to keep them from unrolling. -
Refrigerate and slice
Place wrapped pickles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to make slicing easier. Slice each roll into about ¾-inch pieces, discard the end pieces (or eat them) and arrange them on a plate or platter.
