Easy Smoked Salmon Dip

There’s hardly a recipe out there with an ingredient list you can count on one hand.  This capers-laden smoked salmon dip is definitely not short on flavor, though short on ingredients!!!

With only five easy to find components, you can whip up a terrific appetizer in no time. Perfect for this busy time of year!

Salmon Appetizer with Capers

It takes less than 10 minutes to flake or chop the salmon, mix up the DairyPure sour cream, cream cheese, and Worcestershire before stirring in the salmon bits and capers. My loyal readers know the hubby is a tough sell, but he went nuts for this smoked salmon appetizer, as did I! It also makes a wonderful spread on bagels.

Are capers a staple in your kitchen? I keep a jar in the fridge for those nights that a quick chicken piccata is on the menu. They come brined or packed in salt. Either will work, just rinse off the salt if you purchase the latter. Bill will usually leave a little pile on his plate when I cook up the Italian lemon chicken, but he didn’t blink when eating capers in this dip!

Smoked Salmon Options

Our market has two varieties of smoked salmon: sliced lox and thicker wedges of heat smoked salmon. Testing both was a definite pleasure as they each were splendid options. The latter produced a pinker, slightly less salty and maybe a wee bit more flavorful dip, but you can’t go wrong with either types of smoked salmon.
