Smoked Salmon Dip
Smoked salmon dip is a very simple yet delicious appetizer, perfect for any gathering. Serve it with your favorite dippers or as a spread on crostini.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cream cheese (120 grams)
- 2 ounces smoked salmon (60 grams)
- ¼ cup sour cream (60 grams)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (60 grams)
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley (see note 1)
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Transfer all the ingredients to a food processor and pulse until smooth or until you achieve a texture you like.
- Refrigerate before serving.
Notes
- This is finely chopped. When using fresh leaves, just grab about a ⅛ cup.
- If you don’t have a food processor, simply finely chop smoked salmon and herbs and mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
- I like to make a veggie dip first and use some of it for this dip. It is so easy and you get 2 dips in a matter of minutes. You simply add ½ cup of veggie dip to cream cheese and smoked salmon and process in a food processor.
- Herbs – If you can, use fresh herbs. But, you only need a little amount for this dip so you can easily substitute it with dried herbs. Just make sure they are not too old. You don’t want to lose any flavor.
- You can adjust the quantities of all the ingredients to your liking.
- Nutritional values are based on 4 servings when 1 serving is ¼ cup of this dip.
