This salmon cream cheese is great spread on a bagel, or as a dip with crackers. It's tart and salty with lemon, fresh dill, and capers, and the whipped cream cheese makes it light enough to use as a dip.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

  • 1 tablespoon capers

  • 1 1/4 cups flaked cooked salmon

Method

  1. Beat cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and creamy.

  2. Stir dill and capers into whipped cream cheese and gently fold in salmon. Refrigerate until ready to use.
