- Whole dill pickles
- Thinly sliced deli ham (e.g., honey ham or black forest ham)
- Softened cream cheese (full-fat recommended)
- Chopped green onions

Instructions
- Dry your dill pickles with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

- Place one whole dill pickle at the edge of the ham slice. Roll it up tightly, ensuring the pickle stays in place.
- Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- After chilling, use a sharp knife to cut the rolls into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch thick.
- Arrange the roll ups on a platter or tray. Optionally, insert toothpicks for easy serving.
