This smoked salmon dip is a perfect appetizer that comes together in one bowl, in just 5 minutes. The dip is savory and spreadable—perfect for smearing on toast or dipping with crackers and crudite.
The base of the dip is made with cream cheese and sour cream for a creamy texture. Lemon juice, mustard, and dill brighten up the dish and add contrast the smoked salmon’s flavor. I love to keep tinned smoked salmon on hand to whip together this dip any time. Hot smoked salmon can also be found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores.
