How to Make the BEST Smoked Salmon Dip Recipe

• Kitchen tools you’ll need: Medium bowl, fork for flaking the salmon, measuring cups and spoons, sharp knife and chopping board and hand mixer.
• This dip is simple to make so a special effort should be made to use quality smoked salmon for the best results. Smoked salmon is available at all price points and is an impressive dish to have on the appetizer menu.
• Salmon is so delicate it’s important to whip the other ingredients with a mixer until they’re fully creamed prior to adding it to the mix.
• I recommend using real mayonnaise and not something like Miracle Whip or similar that’s sweet for this dip recipe.
• Give the dip time to chill so the flavors can fully develop. Four hours is ideal, even overnight if time allows.
