Note from Cheri:
With parties happening at the drop of a hat and friends and relatives dropping by, it's a good idea to stock up on dip recipes. Why? Because many dips can be quickly thrown together with ingredients already in your pantry or fridge. Paired with some crackers, bread or raw veggies, you can keep a hungry crowd happy for an entire evening.

This dip is especially good on dark rye or pumpernickel bread or toasts.

Money Saving Note: While smoked salmon can be quite expensive, this recipe also works well with a cured salmon. You can easily make your own by following this link for Rozanne Gold's Swedish Cured Salmon recipe.
