Smoked Salmon Dip Ingredients

  • 8 oz smoked salmon, diced
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp capers, rinsed

Instructions

  1. Combine Cream Cheese and Sour Cream: In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with the sour cream until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, creating the base for the dip.
  2. Fold in Smoked Salmon: Gently fold the diced smoked salmon into the creamy base to ensure even distribution without breaking up the salmon pieces.
  3. Add Flavorings: Stir in the fresh chopped dill, lemon juice, and rinsed capers to the mixture, combining everything thoroughly to enhance the flavor.
  4. Chill the Dip: Transfer the dip into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm slightly.
  5. Serve: Serve the chilled smoked salmon dip with a selection of crackers, crisp vegetables, or bread for dipping and enjoy as a sophisticated appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use high-quality smoked salmon.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is thoroughly softened to avoid lumps.
  • The dip can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, pulse the ingredients briefly in a food processor before chilling.
  • Serve immediately after chilling for the best taste and texture.
