Smoked Salmon Dip with Focaccia
This dip is excellent for a brunch! It is a classy choice that really elevates the menu. I recommend using fresh Dill. It comes together so quickly and has a great presentation. This can also be made 1 day ahead to save time!
Ingredients:
1 cup (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, about 1/2 a lemon
2 tablespoons capers, drained
¼ teaspoon Louisiana hot sauce
4 ounces smoked salmon, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives
a pinch of salt to taste
Directions:
1. Combine the cream cheese,mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, hot sauce & capers in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to blend.
2. Add the smoked salmon, chives, & dill. Pulse until the salmon is finely chopped & blended. You still want to see small chunks.
3. Do a taste test & see if the herbs are how you want it, adjust just if necessary.
4. Garnish with chopped dill or parsley or a lemon wedge.
Serve with toasted focaccia & a serving knife or spoon.
