Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 6 oz Smoked salmon
- 2 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp Horseradish
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Capers, drained
Instructions
Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes for easier mixing.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Beat with a hand mixer or stir vigorously using a spoon until smooth and creamy.
Finely chop the smoked salmon and add it to the bowl.
Add the chopped dill, horseradish, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture.
Fold in the capers gently to avoid crushing them, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
Taste the dip and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lemon juice, dill, or horseradish to suit your preference.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with crackers, bagel chips, or fresh vegetable dippers like cucumber slices or carrot sticks.
