I actually did invent this one. I prefer a piece of smoked salmon or a can of it. If unavailable, use a can of salmon without bones & skin. Serve on soft warmed bread. I used Von's bakery jalapeno bread warmed in foil in the oven. Hope you all try this...so yummy!

How To Make smoked salmon dip

  • 1
    In a medium-size bowl, mix one can drained salmon, the pesto, and sliced sun-dried tomatoes (OK to use a bit of the oil from the tomatoes).* *I love sun-dried tomatoes. So if you love them-feel free to add a few more!
  • 2
    Add the Boursin, crumbled up. Mix in well.
  • 3
    Add the liquid smoke if you aren't using smoked salmon to taste. I prefer just a hint of smoke. Add the sour cream and mix well. You can taste it at this point and add salt and pepper if you like.

    Serve in a pretty bowl with a spoon or spreaders. Provide warm bread and/or crackers and a nice glass of wine. Enjoy!
