INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED
- Smoked Salmon – skin and bones removed.
- Greek Yogurt – Use plain full-fat Greek yogurt.
- Crème Fraîche – Adds such good flavor! If you can’t find it at your local supermarket, use sour cream instead.
- Capers – Optional but I highly recommend it.
- Fresh Dill – A must!
- Salt and Pepper – It will taste bland if you don’t season it with salt and pepper so make sure to season the dip!
