Your Crackers Deserve This Smoked Salmon Dip!
This Smoked Salmon Dip is one of those recipes that feels special but takes just minutes to put together. It’s creamy, flavorful, and made with simple ingredients like cream cheese, lemon juice, and smoky, tender salmon.
I like to whip it until smooth and fluffy, then fold in the salmon so you get little bursts of flavor in every bite. It works beautifully as a spread for crackers, toast, or bagels and also makes a great dip for veggie sticks. You can prep it in advance, which makes it super convenient for parties or last-minute snacks.
It’s easy, delicious, and always disappears fast whenever I serve it. If you love salmon, this is definitely one to keep in your recipe rotation.
