SMOKED SALMON DIP



Smoked Salmon Dip image

This elegant smoked salmon dip is delicious on crackers -- or serve it on a brunch buffet with bagels.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (8 ounces) cream cheese
¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers, drained
¼ teaspoon Tasbasco
4 ounces smoked salmon, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives
Salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, capers, and Tabasco in a food processor fitted with the metal blade; pulse until blended. Add the salmon, dill and chives and pulse, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary, until the salmon is finely chopped. Taste and add salt, if necessary (I usually add about ¼ teaspoon, but it depends on the saltiness of the smoked salmon). Serve as a dip with crackers or bagel chips, or as a spread with bagels.
  • Make ahead: This dip can be made a few days ahead of time. However, it gets quite firm in the fridge so let it sit out at room temperature before serving, otherwise it will be hard to scoop.
