Begin by cutting the creamy Havarti cheese into 1/2-inch cubes.

Next, slice the zesty salami and tangy pickles into equally sized pieces.

Arrange your ingredients on a clean cutting board.

In a medium bowl, combine the garlic vinaigrette with freshly chopped basil, stirring well.

Layer the cheese cubes, salami pieces, and pickles in a glass jar or airtight container.

Carefully pour the garlic vinaigrette mixture over your layered ingredients.

Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

When ready to serve, remove the appetizer from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes.
