A creamy, tangy spread with the rich flavor of smoked salmon.
Smoked Salmon Spread
Perfect for serving with crudites or crackers. This smoked salmon spread is a delightful addition to any appetizer spread. The recipe comes from Ina Garten, known for her simple yet flavorful dishes.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish, drained
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 pound (4 ounces) smoked salmon, minced
Directions
- Cream the cheese in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until just smooth.
- Add the sour cream, lemon juice, dill, horseradish, salt, and pepper, and mix.
- Add the smoked salmon and mix well.
- Chill and serve with crudites or crackers.
- If you can find it, I prefer Norwegian salmon; it’s drier and less salty than other smoked salmon.
