Many of our family and friends are on lower carb, clean eating diets these days! So – as much as we possibly can – we try to accommodate their food preferences when we have family and friends over to our house for lunch. Thanks to the makers of HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® 100% natural* brand of deli meats, we were able to serve this delicious carb-conscious Deli Lunch Spread the other day – and everyone was very happy!
HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® products – including their wholesome and nutritious deli turkey, ham, salami, and bacon – are all natural with no added preservatives*, no nitrates, and no artificial colors or flavors. Check out all of the delicious little nibbles we included in our carb conscious Deli Lunch Spread:
Turkey-Wrapped Asparagus Spears – made with HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® Oven Roasted Deli Turkey
Salami and Cream Cheese Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes – made with HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® Uncured Hard Salami
Salami-Wrapped Cheese Sticks – also made with HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® Uncured Hard Salami
Turkey Pinwheel Bites – made with HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® Applewood Smoked Deli Turkey
Honey Ham-Wrapped Cantaloupe – made with HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® Honey Deli Ham
The makers of HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® deli meats believe that everyone should have access to better meat. Their 100% natural lunchmeat costs the same amount as the un-natural stuff – so selecting a better-for-you lunchmeat doesn’t have to be a tough choice.

Instructions
Assemble each as follows and place on a serving tray or platter:
For Turkey-Wrapped Asparagus Spears
- Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. While water is heating, clean asparagus and cut the tough ends from ends of each spear.
- Blanch asparagus spears in boiling water until just tender (about 2 minutes), then immediately plunge asparagus into an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Drain asparagus and dry well on paper towels.
- Wrap 3 asparagus spears in one slice of HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® Oven Roasted Deli Turkey. Repeat using the remainder of the asparagus spears.
For Salami and Cream Cheese Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes
- Cut 10 slices of HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® Uncured Hard Salami into quarters. Place into a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped. Remove chopped salami to a small bowl.
- Add softened cream cheese and scallions to the bowl with the salami and stir to combine.
- Using a small paring knife, cut cores out of each cherry tomato and remove seeds.
- Place cream cheese and salami mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe into the tomatoes.
For Salami-Wrapped Cheese Sticks
- Wrap 1 slice of HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® Uncured Hard Salami around each cheese stick.
For Turkey Pinwheel Bites
- Lay flat 8 slices of HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® Applewood Smoked Deli Turkey on a cutting board. Evenly divided the soft cheese spread among each slice of turkey. Using a knife, spread cheese evenly over turkey.
- Roll the cheese-covered slice of turkey tightly, then cut into 1-inch bites and place on side.
For Honey Ham-Wrapped Cantaloupe
- Cut each slice of cantaloupe in half.
- Fold slices of HORMEL® NATURAL CHOICE® Honey Deli Ham in half, then wrap around each slice of melon and secure with a skewer or toothpick.

My go-to quick and healthy lunch is a wrap using the veggies from my garden with a bit of hummus, cheese and sriracha!

I like to keep washed organic greens in my fridge for a fast and healthy lunch. I add ham, cheese, and a hard boiled egg! It’s so easy and so healthy.

I often eat a salad for lunch with some meat or cheese mixed in for protein.

My go-to quick and easy lunch is a roasted veggie wrap. Roasted veggies, mayo, seasoning. That’s it! Super simple but really delicious!
