Ingredients
¼ cup plain yogurt
2 green onions, sliced very thin, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon lemon juice
8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
4 oz peppered hot smoked salmon, shredded
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and yogurt. Using a sturdy spoon or electric mixer, vigorously blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth, fluffy consistency.
Fold in the sliced green onions, lemon juice, and shredded smoked salmon, stirring gently until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with additional sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables.
Comments
Smoked salmon cream cheese dip lands well for Charlotte: all ingredients are stocked year-round at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart, with no special stops required. At roughly $12–14 for eight servings, the cost per serving hovers near $1.75, making this an economical appetizer when smoked salmon is not on deep sale—watch the seafood counter at Harris Teeter for weekly specials. The five-minute time is honest; this is pure assembly, no cooking or fussing. It holds beautifully as a same-night dip for a party and reheats poorly, so plan to serve it fresh, which suits its purpose as a crowd-pleaser for casual entertaining rather than a work-lunch leftover.
