Ingredients

Scale

Base Spread

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Add-ins

  • 3 ounces smoked salmon, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base mixture: Add the cream cheese, sour cream, and lemon juice to a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, blend the ingredients together until the mixture becomes light, smooth, and fluffy. This creates a creamy base that enhances the texture of the spread.
  2. Add the smoked salmon and herbs: Incorporate the finely chopped smoked salmon, thinly sliced green onions, and chopped fresh dill into the cream cheese mixture. Use a spoon or rubber spatula to gently fold these ingredients together, ensuring an even distribution without overmixing.
  3. Serve or store: The smoked salmon cream cheese spread is ready to serve immediately with crackers, bagels, or fresh bread. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate the spread for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and flavors.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to ensure easy mixing and a smooth texture.
  • This spread can be customized by adding capers or finely chopped red onion for an extra flavor dimension.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to keep it fresh.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature depending on preference.
