Ingredients
- 120 grams Smoked salmon
- 120 grams Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 120 grams Low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Add the smoked salmon, Greek yogurt, and softened cream cheese to a medium-sized mixing bowl or food processor.
Step 2
Add the lemon juice, fresh dill, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Step 3
If using a food processor, pulse the ingredients until the mixture is creamy but retains a few small chunks of salmon for texture. Scrape down the sides as needed. If mixing by hand, finely shred the smoked salmon with a fork and stir vigorously until combined.
Step 4
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Step 5
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and sprinkle additional fresh dill or green onions on top for garnish, if desired.
Step 6
Serve immediately with whole-grain crackers, fresh vegetables, or bagel chips. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
