Smoked Salmon Dip in Pumpernickel
I got this recipe from my brother, who is a fabulous cook, and it has become a staple at Christmastime. The smoky salmon blends wonderfully with the cream cheese. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your taste.—Kathy Smuz, Clearwater, Florida20 ServingsPrep/Total TIme: 20 min.
