Ingredients
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz cooked salmon, flaked
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 celery stick (for arms)
- 4 black olives (for eyes and buttons)
- 1 small piece carrot, peeled (for nose)
- 4 pretzel sticks (optional, for extra decoration)
Directions
Step 1
Place the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the flaked salmon, lemon juice, fresh dill, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Step 3
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined and smooth. You can use a spatula or mix it with your hands if needed.
Step 4
Divide the spread into three portions: one small, one medium, and one large to form the snowman’s head, torso, and base respectively.
Step 5
On a serving platter, shape the smallest portion into a round ball for the snowman’s head. Shape the medium portion for the torso just below the head, then shape the largest portion for the base below the torso.
Step 6
Cut the celery stick into two short pieces to form arms and gently insert them into the sides of the snowman’s torso.
Step 7
Use the black olives to create the snowman’s eyes and buttons. Slice a tiny piece off one olive to make a round mouth, if you like.
Step 8
Carve a small wedge from the carrot to make the snowman’s carrot nose and attach it to the snowman’s head.
Step 9
Optional: You can use pretzel sticks around the snowman spread as decorative snowflakes.
Step 10
Refrigerate the snowman spread for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up before serving.
Step 11
Serve with crackers, bread slices, or fresh veggies for dipping, and enjoy!
