"Typically we serve this spread with breadsticks or crackers. But for a delicious change, put a spoonful onto some thick grilled slices of sourdough bread, then top it with a squirt of lemon and a few grinds of pepper. The creamy, pale pink spread, melting into the crevices of the crunchy toast is irresistible."

We made this for this first time for a tailgate party at University of Hawaii (Go Warriors!!). We rolled the spread up in tortillas and made bite-sized pinwheels for easy eating/transport. They were a HUGE hit. They tasted great with a cold beer and good friends. Aloha!

Unexpected company and had the smoked salmon in the fridge so made this up as it was fast and easy. Very nice and enjoyed by everyone. I enjoyed how easy it was to make

I loved this delicious spread. It was quick and easy to make with wonderful results. I omitted the dill as I don't like it and left the other ingredients coarse. Thank you for sharing a recipe that I will make again. Served with my favorite crackers. Made for Think Pink 2016

I've brought the dip. Let's have an official party day with margaritas and a climbing wall and maybe we'll survive to cook another day.

Really good! Lots of salmon flavor. Don't skip on the quality or quantity of salmon. It's worth it! Serve with bagel chips.
