Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 4 ounces smoked salmon (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped, or sub with chives)
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- Vegetable or water crackers (for serving)
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients. Chop the smoked salmon, dill, and capers if using. Soften the cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and blend it until fluffy using a hand mixer or a spatula.
- Incorporate the chopped smoked salmon, capers, and fresh lemon juice into the cream cheese. Mix everything until well combined.
- Mix in the chopped dill, salt, and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed and mix until fully combined.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the flavors meld together.
- Serve with vegetable or water crackers and enjoy!
Notes
For a different flavor twist, substitute smoked salmon with grilled shrimp or canned tuna. Allowing the dip to chill longer enhances the flavors. For a smoother texture, blend all ingredients thoroughly except the smoked salmon and fold it in at the end.
