Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Base Ingredients

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend them until smooth and creamy.

  2. 2

    Add Lemon Juice

    Pour in the lemon juice and mix thoroughly until well incorporated. This will add a zesty flavor to the spread.

Mixing Flavors

  1. 3

    Incorporate Flavor Enhancers

    Add in the chopped capers, fresh dill, finely chopped red onion, and chopped smoked salmon. Gently fold these ingredients into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.

  2. 4

    Season the Spread

    Sprinkle in black pepper and add salt to taste. Mix until everything is evenly distributed throughout the spread.

Serving

  1. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve the lox spread chilled with bagels, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
