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.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality smoked salmon: Opt for wild-caught, sustainably sourced smoked salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese: This will give your dip a rich and creamy consistency. Using low-fat or non-fat cream cheese will result in a thinner, less flavorful dip.
  • Don't overmix the dip: Overmixing can make the dip too thin and runny. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the dip before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and will make the dip easier to spread.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon zest: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your dip.
