Smoked Salmon Dip

Mom in the "uniform" she had to wear when
working at the Hyatt House in Burlinggame, CA
When Mom owned a Seafood market in Ocean Park, Washington we sometimes made this dip for customers to sample. Unfortunately, some customers thought “sampling” meant standing next to the bowl and eating all of it.


Smoked Salmon Dip

1 pound cream cheese (preferably Philadelphia brand)
1 Tb dried minced onion, reconstituted in about 1 Tb of water
1 Tb Mrs. Dash No Salt seasoning
1/4 tsp white pepper
1 Tb Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 pound smoked salmon
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Thoroughly blend all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. If consistency is too thick, additional sour cream and/or mayonnaise can be added. Serve with a fairly sturdy chip (I like Tostitos white corn chips).
