I made up 1/2 this recipe and we loved it (none of us can ever get enough smoked salmon). The horseradish is something I don't usually add, but I liked it - it wasn't overpowering but it was definitely there. I didn't do the snowman thing (it's summertime), so I didn't 'frost' with the whipped cream cheese (which we can't get in Greece, anyway). That probably saved us a goodly amount of calories! Served with crudites before dinner.
