I actually did invent this one. I prefer a piece of smoked salmon or a can of it. Be sure to use a can of salmon without bones and skin. Serve on soft, warmed bread. I used Von's bakery jalapeno bread warmed in foil in the oven. Hope you all try this... so yummy!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This smoked salmon dip is a terrific, unexpected appetizer for your next get-together. Smoky, savory, and herby, it's a different and unique dip. Super creamy, there's texture from the sun-dried tomatoes. If you like sun-dried tomatoes, feel free to add a few extra. It transforms a can of salmon into a different, unique, and slightly elevated appetizer. Great for a holiday party.
