Smoked Salmon Spread is flavored with red onion, capers, dill, and horseradish. It can be prepared in just minutes!
Smoked Salmon Spread makes a creamy and delicious appetizer and I love it for a special brunch. My favorite way to serve Smoked Salmon Spread is on toasted bagels, but I also love it with crackers and it tastes really good on cucumber slices if you are watching your carbs.
The best thing about Smoked Salmon Spread is it only takes a few minutes to prepare and only a handful of ingredients are needed.
I use a full block of cream cheese mixed with a little heavy cream to make it easier to spread. For flavor I add some finely chopped red onion, a full tablespoon of capers (love them!), some fresh dill, and horseradish for a little kick. Then of course the salmon. Six ounces of chopped smoked salmon for lots of salmon flavor.
Smoked Salmon Spread is a simple, classic appetizer and is also fabulous for a special breakfast or brunch.
