Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz cooked salmon, flaked
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 celery stick (for arms)
- 4 black olives (for eyes and buttons)
- 1 small piece carrot, peeled (for nose)
- 4 pretzel sticks (optional, for extra decoration)
Instructions
Place the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl.
Add the flaked salmon, lemon juice, fresh dill, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined and smooth. You can use a spatula or mix it with your hands if needed.
Divide the spread into three portions: one small, one medium, and one large to form the snowman’s head, torso, and base respectively.
On a serving platter, shape the smallest portion into a round ball for the snowman’s head. Shape the medium portion for the torso just below the head, then shape the largest portion for the base below the torso.
Cut the celery stick into two short pieces to form arms and gently insert them into the sides of the snowman’s torso.
Use the black olives to create the snowman’s eyes and buttons. Slice a tiny piece off one olive to make a round mouth, if you like.
Carve a small wedge from the carrot to make the snowman’s carrot nose and attach it to the snowman’s head.
Optional: You can use pretzel sticks around the snowman spread as decorative snowflakes.
Refrigerate the snowman spread for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up before serving.
Serve with crackers, bread slices, or fresh veggies for dipping, and enjoy!
