Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and lemon juice to the bowl of a food processor. Blend until completely mixed and smooth.
  • Add the smoked salmon, dill, capers, salt, and pepper. Pulse a few times until just combined. Leave little chunks of smoked salmon for texture.
  • Serve immediately or make it ahead of time and chill, covered, in the refrigerator until you are ready.

Notes

  • If your dip is too thick, stir in a little extra sour cream or a splash of lemon juice until it reaches your ideal texture. If you prefer a chunkier dip, fold in the smoked salmon at the end instead of blending everything together.
  • Smoked salmon and capers are naturally salty, so taste before adding extra salt.
  • Try adding crushed walnuts, diced avocado, celery, grated parmesan, or sun-dried tomatoes for a fun twist. For toppings, sprinkle on Everything Bagel seasoning, crumbled feta, toasted almonds, or microgreens.
  • Want a spicy kick? Mix in a dash of hot sauce, a pinch of cayenne, or a bit of horseradish for an extra punch of flavor.
Serve: Serve with crisp crackers, bagel chips, toasted baguette slices, or your favorite gluten-free or low-carb bread. For something lighter, fresh veggies like cucumber rounds, bell pepper strips, cherry tomatoes, and celery sticks make a refreshing choice.
Store: Place made-ahead or leftover smoked salmon dip into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Do not freeze. Enjoy the dip cold or bring to room temperature before using.
