Smoked Salmon Dip
I'm of the belief that hors d’oeuvre are one of the best parts of any holiday meal, so when I host I make a large spread of delectable nibbles. I discovered this recipe a few years back and because it incorporated two of my favorite things, smoked salmon and appetizers, it has become a staple whenever I entertain. And, IF there are any leftovers, this dip is incredible on a toasted bagel the morning after any entertaining shindig.

Ingredients:
- 8 oz. whipped cream cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1-2 tbsp. minced fresh dill, depending on taste
- 1 tsp. horseradish
- Freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ lb. smoked Nova Salmon*, minced
*I prefer Nova salmon over sockeye smoked salmon as Nova tends to be less salty, but either will work fine.
Directions:
Combine the cream cheese and sour cream in a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, dill, horseradish, and pepper. Mince the smoked salmon and then mix well. Chill and serve with crudities or crackers
