Smoked Salmon Dip with Greek Yogurt
Here’s a healthier salmon dip recipe that’s essential for special occasions like brunch and holiday parties.
It’s on the light side and versatile enough to be an everyday breakfast item too!
Salmon dips usually call for cream cheese, so for this recipe, I used a light cream cheese.
Also, instead of using sour cream or mayonnaise, I use nonfat Greek yogurt to knock down those fat calories and add a little protein.
If you know me, you know this is one of my favorite recipes hacks.
What kind of salmon should I use for Smoked Salmon Dip?
Sliced smoked salmon is the most common type used in this style of salmon dip.
It’s packaged in thin flat slices and commonly referred to as ‘lox’. It’s very rich, salty, and a little goes a long way.
In fact, for this recipe, you’ll want to taste the dip before adding any salt to it, as it may be unnecessary.
How do you make salmon dip?
Step 1. Blend softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, horseradish, lemon juice, pepper, salt, and Worcestershire together in a bowl.
Step 2. Fold in the smoked salmon and dill.
Step 3. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 5 days.

How to serve salmon on a budget
This smoked salmon dip is the ticket!
Here’s food for thought. If you serve sliced, smoked salmon on a platter to party guests, those slices disappear in no time, and the dollars add up quickly.
So, if you’re going the budget-friendly route, you can buy smoked salmon in bulk, freeze it into 4 oz portions, thaw as needed, and create elegant party dips like this.
When it’s party time, break out the portioned salmon to make this dip and serve it on a tray with crackers, bread, and vegetables.
This way, you cover a lot more ground with less cost.
