  1. great dip, just need to add some horseradish...really finishes it off
     
  2. Great recipe! As with most recipes I use, I tweaked it a bit to get that taste that I was looking for. I used half cream cheese, half neufchatel cheese (lower in fat) and reduced fat sour cream. I substituted minced green onions for the chives. I only had a 4 oz smoked salmon fillet so when I added it and things didn't look salmon-y enough, I added a 5 oz can of salmon. Finally, I used a few generous dashes of Nature's Seasoning and Chipotle Tabasco to give it a bit more depth and kick. The chipotle hot sauce really enhanced the smokiness while giving a mild spicy undertone without any fire.<br/><br/>I cannot express how fantastic it turned out. It was nicely smokey and salmon-y without being overwhelming and it was creamy without tasting too rich or fatty. It is kind of amazing how delicious it tasted immediately after whipping it up -- usually dips taste sort of bland until you let them sit for a while, but this one was incredible right from the get go. I don't think anyone would have been able to tell half the salmon was from a can! I cannot wait to see how much better it tastes tomorrow!
     
  3. We really enjoyed this dip. I used the low fat version of the sour cream and cream cheese ingredients. I also used twice the amount of smoked salmon (removed the silver skin), blended all ingredients, then added the chives, and finally the smoked salmon. I pulsed the dip until the fish was in small bits about the size of green peas. The texture was good and the pieces were just big enough to get a small bite of the smoked salmon. Made it the night before and kept it in a vacuum sealed container. The flavors developed nicely overnight. Also, the dip was great on a toasted bagel the day after the party.
     
  4. Easy to make. I also grated lemon peel to add a bit color in the dip. I didn't have chives or dill so I substituted with chopped onion and green onion. Black pepper is used. Turned out still good.
     
  5. Great dip. I have tried it with shrimp and crab with equally fine results Just a tremendous dip recipe base. Choose your own extras!!

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
