salmon appetizer - Salmon Mousse Dip

By tinathorn

Ingredients

• 1 lb of canned salmon
• 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
• 1 Tbls lemon juice
• 2 tsp white onion, diced fine
• 2 tsp prepared horseradish ( I used Bubbies all natural)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Parsley or chives for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Drain and flake salmon, removing skin and bones. Place in the a food processor along with the rest of the ingredients, except the garnish. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl now and then. Taste and add more salt, lemon or horseradish if desired. Transfer to an airtight container and chill for at least 2 hours. Add garnish before serving. Serve with crackers, French bread slices and veggie sticks.

You can use prepared canned salmon ( skin and bones already removed) to save some time. I used a food scale to make sure I had a whole pound worth because after removing the skin and bones it was a lot less so I used three 7.5 ounce cans which ended up just shy of a pound
