Notes
- The nutrition info includes cucumber and chives.
- I don't add any salt to the mousse. Smoked salmon is very salty, so there's no need for added salt.
- You can keep this mousse in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Remove it from the fridge 20 minutes or so before you plan on enjoying it. While you can technically freeze this mousse for up to three months, its texture won't be as light after it's been thawed.
