A Few Tips & Notes

Here are some tips for success and variations that you’ll love. 

• Substitute the smoked salmon for diced cooked shrimp for a delicious twist while keeping the flavor of the sea. 
• For best texture, make sure to get all the excess moisture out of the cucumbers before mixing in with the cream cheese so the spread does not become watery.
• This is also a great keto-friendly option. Plain Greek yogurt and cream cheese are high in fat and low in carbs which makes this the perfect meal for everyone in your family.    

How long does this spread last? 

This salmon spread will last in the refrigerator for up to three days. Make sure it’s in an airtight container or bowl covered with plastic wrap. When you’re ready to eat it, set it on the counter for a few minutes to allow it to warm up slightly before putting it on your toasted bagels.

Salmon spread is amazing when it’s served fresh, however, it’s not great for freezing to eat later. The best ingredients in the spread are most flavorful when they’re fresh. The cucumbers, green onions, and dill are lackluster and the flavor won’t be as strong after thawing. 

All this to say, when you want to eat salmon spread, make it from scratch every time. The good news is that it only takes a few minutes to prepare, so it’s quick and easy.
