Salmon and Cream Cheese Dip

Submitted by JoyfulCook

"Its a wonderfully creamy and tasty dip, the salmon and herbs are a delightful combination and it does not last long once you serve it."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 2 Cups

ingredients

• 250 g cream cheese, not lite
• 210 g salmon, tinned, red
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 3 teaspoons milk
• 1⁄4 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon salad cream
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons chives, fresh and finely snipped
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper, black course
• salt

directions

1. Drain the Salmon well. Remove any skin and bones and crumble into a bowl.
2. Beat the cream cheese with the milk and lemon juice until its smooth, add the salmon, salad dressing, chives, salt and pepper, beat all together until well mixed. Refrigerate for a few hours at least,but 24 hours is better as the flavours blend.
3. Add slightly more milk to the mix if it's a bit too stiff as cream cheese differs from one brand to another.
4. Salad cream has a more tart flavour than mayonnaise,so do us that if possible.

Loved this! We made smoked salmon on our smoker. Had leftovers, followed the recipe but added horseradish as another did!

This is highly addictive! It is very easy to put together. Neufchatel Cream Cheese and a can of Alaskan Wild Red Salmon was used. While we really enjoyed the recipe as is, I may add in some dill or Old Bay to change it up a bit. Made for Made My Recipe Reunion in the Aussie Forum.

This is a very nice salmon dip and was easy to make. After taste testing, I did add 2 tablespoons of horseradish and some chopped red onion, only because we like our salmon dip to be zingy. Served with saltine crackers and it's addictive. Made for Spring 2012 My 3 Chefs.
