The Best Homemade Smoked Salmon Dip

Stacey Mincoff

Ingredients
 
 

  • 5 Ounces Smoked Salmon not lox, but it will probably work
  • 1/2 Cup Green Onion chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice fresh
  • 16 Ounces Cream Cheese room temp
  • 2 Tablespoons Capers

Instructions
 

  • Combine cream cheese and lemon juice in a bowl of a stand mixer and mix until smooth. Add green onions and capers until thoroughly blended, but be careful not to over mix it. Break salmon into chunks and add to the bowl. Mix just until everything is evenly combined. I prefer to keep the salmon somewhat chunky. I have made this in a food processor as well, but it’s not my favorite texture.
  • Serve on sliced French baguette, pretzel crisps, or crackers. I like those “Bite Size Everything Crackers” from Trader Joe’s, but seriously this will taste good on a piece of celery or a cucumber if you’re on a gluten free diet.
