Smoked Salmon Spread

George (my husband) and I went on a cruise in Alaska for our honeymoon, over 11 years ago. While we were there we fell in love with the salmon mousse that our cabin steward brought to us everyday at 4:00 for cocktail hour (yes, I know, spoiled rotten, we were). Ever since, I've been looking for a recipe that could come close to that wonderful, tasty spread. Below is a recipe I found (along with some notes) from the Barefoot Contessa. It's pretty darn close.

Smoked Salmon Spread
4 oz. smoked salmon (I found this at Sam's Club)
8 oz. cream cheese (I used light)
1/2 cup sour cream (I used light)
1 tbsp lemon juice fresh squeezed
1 tbsp minced fresh dill (I think more like 1/2 tbsp is plenty)
1 tsp horseradish, drained
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Toss this all in the food processor and blend until smooth. Serve with crackers. Yum!
