Smoked Salmon Cheeseball
Smoked Salmon is a wonderful treat on its own, but when you mix it with fresh dill, chives, a squeeze of lemon and combine it with softened cream cheese, the resulting Smoked Salmon Cheeseball is even more decadent.
A perfect treat for a holiday soiree you may be hosting, or even if it’s just your family for a quaint surf and turf dinner. This cheeseball will be the hit of the party. Serve with crackers, sliced cucumber, and fresh veggies like bell peppers and endive leaves.
For this smoked salmon cheeseball, you combine softened cream cheese with flaked smoked salmon, and chives together until well incorporated.
You refrigerate until hard (about 30 minutes) and then shape into a ball. You then want to create a seasoned topping for the cheeseball by combining lemon zest, minced dill, and lemon pepper seasoning on a plate.
You roll the cheeseball into the seasoned topping and then wrap it in wax paper to store it until you are ready to serve. It’s easy and delicious!
You can find smoked salmon in the seafood department at Safeway.
