Notes
- Look for high quality smoked salmon. I find that wild caught salmon often tastes better than farmed salmon. It should say on the package where the salmon is sourced.
- Make sure your cream cheese is very soft so that you don't end up with lumps in your dip. I often microwave the cream cheese in 15 second increments until soft to speed up the process.
- This dip will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before serving.
