Preparing the green salad rolls:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Start by washing the salad leaves well under cold running water. Remove the thicker stems so that the leaves are flexible and easy to roll. Place them on a clean towel to dry.

2. Spread the salad leaves: Take a salad leaf and spread a generous layer of Delaco garlic cream cheese over the entire surface. This will give a savory and aromatic taste to your rolls.

3. Add the bologna: Place a slice of peppered bologna on the cream cheese. If you prefer a less salty option, ham or fillet are excellent alternatives.

4. Another layer of cream cheese: Spread more cream cheese, this time choosing the herb variety for an extra freshness.

5. Add the melted cheese: Place a slice of Delaco melted cheese over the cream cheese. This will add a creamy texture to your rolls.

6. The boiled eggs: Slice the hard-boiled eggs thinly and place a few slices on top of the cheese.

7. Roll the salad: Start rolling the salad leaf from the bottom, making sure to keep all the ingredients inside. Roll tightly but without tearing the salad leaf.

8. Cut the rolls: Use a sharp knife to cut the rolls crosswise into pieces about 3-4 cm long. This way, each serving will be easy to serve and eat.

9. Serving: Arrange the rolls on a platter and serve them alongside sliced fresh tomatoes. The tomatoes not only add color but also a fresh taste that perfectly complements the cheese combination.
