Calories: 533kcal
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 8 ounces smoked salmon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons dill finely chopped and more for serving
Instructions
- Add the cream cheese, smoked salmon, lemon juice, lemon zest and dill to a food processor. Blend until smooth for about 5 minutes.
- Serve cold over cucumbers, crackers, small toasts, bagel chips or over veggies. Top with dill and enjoy. (If serving on cucumbers, transfer the mousse to a pastry bag and pipe it onto cucumber slices)
Notes
- The smoked salmon mousse can be made one day ahead and stored in the fridge. It's even better the next day as the flavors have time to develop.
- If you don't have a pastry bag, put the mousse into a small sealable plastic bag and cut the tip off the corner of the bag. It will look a little more smooth, but it will be just as pretty!
