Notes
- Room temperature dairy ingredients: Set the cream cheese and sour cream out in advance so the cream cheese can soften and the sour cream can come to room temperature for the best smoked salmon dip recipe. This makes it easier to blend both ingredients into a smooth, creamy dip.
- Separate the slices of salmon before chopping. If the slices are stacked on top of each other, they tend to clump together when chopped and are not as easy to incorporate evenly throughout the dip.
- Make it ahead of time. I often make this smoked salmon dip the night before I plan to serve it because the flavors meld so well overnight in the fridge. Just set it out about 20 minutes before serving so it can soften a little.
- For a smooth dip: Add everything to a food processor and blend for a smoother dip.
