If the cream cheese is not fully softened, let it sit at room temperature until soft enough to mix (soft but still cool).

Place the softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, small pieces of salami, mayo, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper into a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.

Mix on low to medium speed, scraping the bowl as needed, until the ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture is uniform in texture.

Lay a large sheet of plastic wrap on your work surface. Spoon the cheese mixture onto the center of the plastic wrap.

Place a second sheet of plastic wrap over the mixture. Using your hands through the plastic wrap, shape the mixture into a ball (or your preferred shape), pressing to remove air and smooth the surface.

Twist and seal the plastic wrap around the shaped cheese ball, then refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up.

Unwrap the cheese ball, transfer to a serving plate, and serve with butter crackers and fresh cut veggies.
