This dip blends smoked salmon with cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, dill, and green onions into a smooth, flavorful spread. Made in a food processor, it has a light, fluffy texture that’s perfect for serving with crudités, bagel chips, or warm toast points.
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
¼ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish (optional, for kick)
2 tablespoons chopped green onions (white and green parts)
4 ounces smoked salmon, chopped
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
In a food processor, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, dill, horseradish (if using), green onions, salt, and pepper.
Blend until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
Add the chopped smoked salmon to the processor and pulse just a few times to incorporate. The goal is to keep some small chunks for texture.
Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra dill or chopped green onion if desired.
