Instructions
Instructions:
- Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to ensure easy mixing. - Step 2: Drain the Salmon
Open the canned salmon and drain any excess liquid. This will help prevent your dip from becoming too watery. - Step 3: Mix the Base
In your mixing bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese and horseradish. Use a fork or an electric mixer to blend them together until smooth and creamy. - Step 4: Add the Salmon
Flake the drained salmon into the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold the salmon into the mix, being careful not to break it down too much. - Step 5: Season to Taste
Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the dip. - Step 6: Chill and Serve
Transfer your Canned Salmon Dip to a serving dish. For the best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
