The holiday parties are starting and you may be asked to bring a dish of some kind to your next party. Well, I highly recommend my salmon mousse. I love how easy it comes together and it’s absolutely delicious and looks stunning on a silver platter. It’s even better the next day, perhaps make it in advance of a hectic schedule. I am excited to bring this lovely appetizer to the holiday party for the book club that I’m in. The WWW Book Club is a stunning group of beautiful and brilliant woman and it’s always a little daunting to figure out what to bring as all of these woman are very accomplished cooks. There is never a shortage of delicious home-made food. I hope that they like this! Oh and if you want to comment on this or ask a question please do so http://www.frompunktoputtanesca.com

This recipe is adapted from the Barefoot Contessa. She uses dill in her recipe, however I don’t care for it so I omit it, you could use it for garnish if you want to.

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 pound (4 ounces) smoked salmon, minced

Directions

Cream the cheese in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until just smooth. Add the sour cream, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper, and mix. Add the smoked salmon and mix well. Chill and serve with crudites and black pepper water crackers.
