Anni's Salmon Spread
CATEGORIES
INGREDIENTS
- Preparation Time: 85
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (you can use 2 tbs if you want a little more tang)
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill (don't go too crazy with the dill - it has a strong taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (as needed - for taste)1/4 cup sun-ripened tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 pound (4 ounces) smoked salmon (or canned red salmon, drained), minced
DIRECTIONS
- Cream the cheese in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until just smooth.
- Add the sour cream, lemon juice, dill, tomatoes, salt, and pepper, and mix.
- Add the smoked salmon and mix well.
- Chill and serve with crudites or crackers.
- Hand mixing will be just fine if you don't have an electric mixer, and it's less clean-up. BONUS!
- I usually use the canned red salmon, because it's faster and easier to prepare.
- Although, you do get a different taste with the smoked salmon.
