Equipment

  • Food processor
  • large mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces hot-smoked salmon flaked or shredded
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper strips for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, olive oil, Liquid Smoke, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Pulse until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the smoked salmon and chopped dill to the cream cheese mixture, and pulse again until everything is well combined.
  • Transfer the dip to a large mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • When ready to serve, garnish the dip with red bell pepper strips and extra dill, if desired.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite crackers, cucumber slices, jicama chips, or baguette slices.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a creamier consistency, add an extra tablespoon of sour cream or heavy cream.
  • If you can't find hot-smoked salmon, you can use leftover baked or cooked salmon instead.
  • You can make the dip up to two days ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
  • When reheating the dip, make sure not to overheat it, as it can become dry and lose its creamy texture.
