How to make smoked salmon spread
Would you believe this creamy spread comes together in just three simple steps?
Step 1: Place the cream cheese in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
Step 2: Add the chopped smoked salmon, lemon juice, dill, chopped green onions, and pepper. Pulse until everything is incorporated.
Step 3: Transfer the dip to a small bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to develop.
That’s it! And after one bite, this might become your new go-to recipe.
What to eat with this spread
So what should you serve with this amazing little dish? it’s wonderful with keto cheese crackers, a good low-carb bread, or even some regular store-bought crackers (if you don’t mind the carbs)!
For some lower-carb options, try cucumber rounds or celery sticks. Fresh veggies add a delicious crunch.
I will also admit that I’m guilty of eating it right off a spoon.
Storage
I will warn you that when shared with others, this salmon spread goes quickly!
If you’re fortunate enough to have any leftover, store it covered in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3 days… if it lasts that long.

I haven’t made this recipe yet but I have a question…The recipe calls for 3 minutes cook time. When and what is cooked? Thanks
That was a mistake. We have changed it to 5 min prep time. Thanks for catching that.
