Ingredients
- 8 8 ounces cream cheese can be light
- 4 4 ounces smoked salmon lox
- 2 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh is best

- Optional garnishes: fresh dill, flying fish roe, lemon zest, capers, finely minced red onion, or tiny slice of lemon
Instructions
- Add the cream cheese, smoked salmon, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper to your food processor and blend on high until smooth, scraping the sides a few times.
- Either transfer the mousse to a bowl if you're using it as a dip or put it into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip to pipe it onto cucumber rounds or crackers. (See notes)
- Top with one or more of the optional garnishes to make it look pretty.

Notes
- The smoked salmon mousse can be made one day ahead and stored in your fridge. It's actually better the next day as the flavors have time to develop.
- If you don't have a pastry bag, put the mousse into a small sealable plastic bag and cut the tip off the corner of the bag. It will look a little more smooth, but it will be just as pretty!
