Schmear (Cream Cheese With Lox Spread)
"Try serving this "schmear" with some fresh bagels at your next brunch. You could add a tablespoon or so of fresh chopped dill or parsley or even a couples of tablespoons of drained capers, but I like it kept simple. For appetizers, serve the schmear along with cocktail-sized rye bread slices."

Yum! This was very good - and much handier than putting cream cheese on a bagel, THEN the salmon. I didn't have any scallions, but it is delicious just the same! Next time I'll make sure I have the scallions for added flavor. -
I love smoke salmon and cream cheese and this tasty recipe does not disappoint. It was so good. Made as written but added a little lemon zest (personal preference only) Thank you so much for sharing this quick and easy to make recipe. It was awesome. Made for What's on the Menu? Tag Game. -

<p>I recently celebrated my 19th anniversary living in SW Florida. I moved here from Massachusetts, just north of Boston. As much as I miss family back home, I truly love living here - the beaches, the tropical beauty, the people, and the weather (except the hurricanes!). Everyday is just another day in Paradise. I work at the new international airport here in Fort Myers. I have an opportunity to meet many different and interesting people from around the world. I've had an interest in cooking since I was a little boy, following my grandmother around the kitchen. Since I wasn't blessed with any artistic or musical talent, I think cooking was my way of being creative. My passion is my family and friends. My second passion is cooking for them. My favorite way to entertain is informally...brunches, cookouts, and small dinner parties. Just relaxing, enjoying each other's company, some good food and drink, and a little fun are the only rules of the house.</p>
