This Smoked Salmon Dip comes together with a few basic staples to create a dip that’s perfect on toast or crostini – as an appetizer for parties or your Holiday table!
A really good, reliable dip is a blessing … especially around the holidays! Dips are one of those things that I think we all love having on hand because it affords us the chance to feed our hungry belly while we are waiting for a bigger meal.
The real meal.
A dip can also be that one thing that brings together everyone in the kitchen for talk and laughter – that’s especially true for me. Any time I can bring my five kids in one spot for a period of time, it invokes beautiful feelings of togetherness.
But it usually only lasts seconds because, well…. they’re kids and to get along with eachother is seemingly “impossible”. 😆
Smoked Salmon Dip
This Smoked Salmon Dip fits the bill – it’s easy to throw together (ready in 5 minutes!), and is made with simple, simple ingredients.
Mayo
- Sour Cream
- Smoked Salmon
- Salt and Pepper, fresh Dill
- Juice of a lemon
- Cream Cheese
- Oh… and capers. Yum!
If you have a food processor, toss it all in there and give it a whizz. If you want chunks of smoked salmon in your dip, then don’t over-do it!
Then put in a serving bowl and serve with your favorite crusty bread.
Or, crostini, toast, Hatch Chile sourdough, or … perhaps even crackers.
Or, take a spoon and eat it directly from the bowl.
Wait — don’t, don’t do that.😜🥹 Unless, of course, you are the only one eating this dip.
Then feel free do as you wish. 😉
This dip is one of my favorites – so much in fact, that I included it in a recent church cookbook that I helped the ladies at my church put together.
Because everyone needs a really, really good reliable dip that looks like it took hours to make.
I hope you love this Smoked Salmon Dip as much as I do!

If you did, please take a second to leave a comment as I’d love to know how it turned out.
I’d ask you to tag me on social media but I gave up social media several years ago and I don’t have it at all. I still love to read comments and get questions though – so don’t be afraid to leave comments on this post as I do take the time to read and respond when I can.
