Smoked Salmon Dip

Meet my favorite dip of all time -- and I promise I’m not exaggerating! ☺️

Not only is this Smoked Salmon Dip ultra-delicious but it’s pretty fancy too! 💁🏼‍♀️ I love mixing high and low ingredients and this recipe is the ULTIMATE definition of high & low. Only 4 ounces of smoked salmon is needed because it will get mixed with cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, horseradish, and dill. Fresh herbs are ALWAYS a great way to make a dip feel fresh & elegant. Dill and smoked salmon make the perfect pair! Just writing this blog post is making my mouth water y’all.

I prefer to serve this Smoked Salmon Dip with water crackers because there's SO MUCH flavor in the dip itself that you don’t want the crackers to take away from the amazing ingredients. If I ever have leftovers (which is very rare) I'll eat this with crackers for lunch the next day and it's such a treat! 😍

If you’re wanting to impress a group of friends or family this is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser! You know it’s a WINNER when guests always ask for the recipe! I would highly recommend serving this with white wine or champagne. Enjoy y’all! 🍾
