Smoked Salmon Dip!

During our stay at Icy Point Strait, we sampled the most delicious Smoked Salmon Dip. I'm not a big Salmon eater usually, but have to say this dip was delicious. It is wonderful on dark pumpernickel bread, crackers, or with raw fresh vegetables. Try not to substitute canned Salmon here - use only smoked.

*SMOKED SALMON DIP*

8 ounces cream cheese, softened + (2 Tablespoons mayo if needed to thin)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 to 1/3 pound smoked salmon (remove any skin or bones and chop fine)
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or chopped green onion
freshly ground white or black pepper
(optional = 1/3 teaspooon celery salt, garlic salt, and/or onion salt)


Use a food processor and blend the cheese, sour cream and lemon juice until mixture is smooth. Scrape mixture into a medium bowl. Add the salmon, chives, and pepper and mix gently w/ a wooden spoon. Makes about 2 cups of delicious dip. If it lasts, it's good for a week in the refrigerator.
