Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish, drained
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 pound (4 ounces) smoked salmon, minced

Directions

Cream the cheese in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until just smooth. Add the sour cream, lemon juice, dill, horseradish, salt, and pepper, and mix. Add the smoked salmon and mix well. Chill and serve with crudites or crackers.

If you can find it, I prefer Norwegian salmon; it's drier and less salty than other smoked salmon.

Really good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this for New Year's Day guests and served with assorted crackers and Everything Bagel chips. Everyone really enjoyed... this and we will be making it again. No changes other than we has to use dried dill because fresh was not available.Read more

Family loved it!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This turned out great. I couldn't find any fresh dill so I used dry. I used about the same amount as the recipe called for... and for us it was perfect. Not to many expensive ingredients and simple to make. I will certainly make this again.Read more

The Guest loved this
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this as one of 2 app.'s last x-mas eve (the other was a hot crab app from Emeril) both were huge hits. Ina's I... followed to a T, Emeril's I cut back on the heat. Now I'm asked to bring a app. again for x-mas eve Ina's was great easy and less expensive . Emeril's asked for 1 lb. of crab plus cheese and everthing else (I don't cut corner's in products, I believe what Ina say's "quality counts"). This was tasting without cutting corners and as long as you stick with quality products it taste as good as the other app. with all the lump crab I made that was twice as expensive if not more. Ina thanks for your great ideas!!! Houston TXRead more

Instantly a family favority
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for two family gatherings, exactly as Ina wrote it. It was really delicious, I think, because by the time I got... to taste the appetisers, this was just about gone. I just made it again for a party. I was out of dill, so I used some fennel. I used Northwest salmon, and it is a bit salty. Next time I will salt after adding the salmon, After standing a few hours it should be fine. But do let it sit, preferable overnight: it does make a difference. Thanks, Ina!Read more

So delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

OMG...this is sooo good. I substituted fat free greek yogurt for sour cream and reduced fat cream cheese for regular cream... cheese to reduce the fat so that I could justify using more salmon... used 8 oz. salmon. So quick and easy.Read more
