Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Smoked salmon
- 200 grams Cream cheese
- 60 grams Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Capers (optional)
- Crackers or fresh vegetables (for serving)
Instructions
Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you start to let it soften for easier mixing.
Finely chop the smoked salmon into small pieces.
Chop the fresh dill and slice the green onions thinly for garnish and mixing.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and lemon juice. Beat with a hand mixer or stir vigorously with a spoon until smooth and combined.
Fold in the smoked salmon, dill, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly, ensuring the salmon is evenly distributed throughout the dip.
If using capers, gently fold them in as well to add a briny flavor to the dip.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lemon juice, salt, or pepper according to your preference.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and optionally garnish with additional dill, green onions, or a slice of smoked salmon on top.
Serve immediately with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables such as cucumber slices, carrot sticks, and bell pepper strips.
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
