Smoked Salmon Spread; Tomato Salsa - Cuisinart Core Custom FP-110 Series Manual

Smoked Salmon Spread

Spreading this onto a fresh bagel is the obvious choice, but it can also be used in tea sandwiches
or on crackers. We love the addition of dill pickles, but you can use fresh dill instead for a more
traditional flavor.
Yield: about 1 cup
INGREDIENTS
8 ounces (1 standard package) plain
cream cheese, cut into 8 pieces and
room temperature
3 2-inch strips lemon zest (bitter white
pith removed), optional
2 teaspoons drained capers, optional
1 to 2 dill pickle spears, halved
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Insert the chopping blade into the work bowl of the food processor. Add the cream cheese and
lemon zest. Pulse a few times to break up, then process on High until smooth.
2. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the capers if using, pickles, dill, salmon, and pepper
and pulse until fully combined, about 20 times. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
