Smoked Salmon Dip

Before I started blogging, I had a huge scrapbook of recipes that I had collected.  Some of them I made multiple times, while others I wrote down to try.  This recipe is one that was passed on from a friend, and I am unsure of its original source.  It’s one of those reliable recipes that you know will be a hit at parties-I don’t think anyone can resist just one!  And it’s so simple to make, just whip up all the ingredients, place in the oven & you’re done!   

This dip is best when served warm, preferably on top of crackers or bread slices.  It tastes alright cold, but I like how smooth & creamy everything is warm!

Smoked Salmon Dip

INGREDIENTS

1 cup mayo (light)

1 cup grated parmesan

1 cup smoked salmon, diced

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon fresh dill

¼ teaspoon paprika

Dash of cayenne

Additional dill, for garnishing

DIRECTIONS

Turn the oven on broil.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, place all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix on low-medium speed until well combined. Transfer to an oven proof bowl and broil until golden & bubbly. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees and bake for 15 minutes.

Serve with pita chips, crackers or bread slices.
