This creamy smoked salmon dip with cream cheese and sour cream has a tangy bite from horseradish and lemon with the freshness of dill. The flavor isn't overly fishy and makes a delicious topping for crackers and dip for crudité. Also, spread it on your morning bagels.
Add 8 ounces cream cheese, ½ cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon horseradish to the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth.
Add 2 ounces of smoked salmon and process until smooth. Transfer the salmon dip to a bowl.
Mince the remaining smoked salmon and fold it into the dip along with 1 tablespoon fresh dill. Stir to combine.
For the best flavor, cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Serve with crackers, crudité or as a spread for bagels or sandwiches.

Notes
You can serve the dip immediately with crackers, crudité or on sliced cucumber rounds for a keto-friendly appetizer.
Letting the smoked salmon dip rest overnight will allow the flavors to marry and give the dip a stronger salmon flavor.
