- Slice English cucumbers lengthwise , just under an inch thick and gently hollow out most of the center leaving a well of sorts for the salmon spread to sit in. Sprinkle with some fresh dill and enjoy.
- Spread cream cheese onto bottom of an 8 or 9 inch casserole dish or even pie plate. Top with layers of the remaining ingredients, in order, and serve with scoops, just like with Our Favorite Dip.
- Celery works well to stuff smoked salmon dip right up the center of each stalk. Slice celery stalks as short or as long as you want them to be.

Next press smoked salmon dip into corner of resealable bag, snip off corner with scissors, and then squeeze dip into each tomato or pepper. Sprinkle with some fresh dill if desired.
