You'll need smoked salmon, cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, dill, garlic, and black pepper. These simple ingredients create a creamy and flavorful dip.
1. Gather Your Ingredients
In a bowl, mix cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. This creamy base helps blend the flavors and makes the dip easy to scoop with crackers or veggies.
2. Blend the Base
Chop the smoked salmon into small pieces and mix it into the base. The rich, smoky flavor of the salmon adds depth and makes the dip taste amazing.
3. Add the Smoked Salmon
Stir in lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, and black pepper. These ingredients enhance the dip's taste, balancing the creamy base with fresh, zesty flavors.
4. Season and Flavor
For a smooth dip, blend everything together. If you prefer texture, fold the ingredients gently and leave some salmon chunks for a hearty bite.
5. Blend or Keep Chunky
Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes. This step allows the flavors to meld, creating a more delicious and well-balanced dip for your party.
6. Chill Before Serving
Pair the dip with crackers, toasted bread, or veggie sticks. It’s the perfect party appetizer that’s creamy, smoky, and full of fresh, zesty flavors.
7. Serve and Enjoy
