Instructions
- Add the smoked salmon (without the skin!) to your food processor, breaking it apart as you add it. Watch for any small pin bones and remove them.
- Add the Boursin cheese to the bowl and pulse/process to completely combine the. Scrape down the sides of the machine as needed. The mixture will be dry at this point.
- Add the cream, lemon juice, and horseradish and pulse process until smooth, light, and fluffy. Taste to adjust the lemon or horseradish. If your mixture seems too stiff add more cream.

Cup of Yum
Notes
- *You may need more or less cream to get the consistency you like. Add a little at a time.
- When I call for pulse/processing that simply means a combination of pulsing the food processor (short spurts) and longer periods of processing to get a mixture evenly combined. Always take the time to scrape down the sides of the machine as needed to get everything evenly incorporated.
