Salmon Appetizer

Slamon Appetizer

We’re thrilled to once again gather with friends and family to celebrate the holiday season! To make sure we don’t miss a thing, we’ve found new quick and easy recipes such as this smoked salmon dip that is ready in just a few minutes.

This tasty dish is made with crème fraîche, smoked salmon, capers, red onions, and fresh dill. Our recommendation: serve with crusty, grilled garlic bread for dipping and pair with a glass of J. Lohr Estates Riverstone Chardonnay. With rich flavors of peaches, apple, and citrus, the J. Lohr Chardonnay pairs perfectly with the smokiness of the salmon.
