Publix Herb-Coated Dry Salami
What it is
This is a cured and fermented sausage made from pork. It is seasoned with a blend of herbs and then dried. The drying process removes moisture, concentrating the flavors and creating a firm texture. It is typically sliced thinly for serving. The exterior is often coated with a mixture of herbs, adding an aromatic layer to the finished product.

To prepare, simply remove the salami from its packaging. You can slice it thinly using a sharp knife or a deli slicer.
