- 120 ml Sour cream
- 60 ml Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Beat together using a hand mixer or a sturdy whisk until smooth and creamy.
Flake the smoked salmon into small pieces using your hands or a fork. Set a small portion aside for garnish, if desired.
Add the flaked smoked salmon to the cream cheese mixture and mix until evenly incorporated.
Stir in the fresh dill, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Fold in the thinly sliced green onions and capers (if using), ensuring they are evenly mixed throughout the dip.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary—add more lemon juice or black pepper to suit your preferences.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with the reserved smoked salmon, additional dill, or sliced green onions, if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh veggies. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate the dip for up to 2 days before serving for enhanced flavor.
