1. Insert the chopping blade into the work bowl of the
food processor . Add the cream cheese, pinch of salt
and pepper. Pulse a few times to br eak up, and then
process until smooth.
2. Add the smoked salmon and pulse until fully com-
bined, about 20 times. T aste and add additional pinch
of salt if desired.
NOTE: T o add even mor e fl avor to the cr eam cheese,
add the lemon, capers and dill. First add the lemon
zest and process to br eak up. Then add the cream
cheese, salt and pepper, pr ocessing until combined.

With this version, the extra pinch of salt is
most likely not necessary because of the briny fl avor
of the capers.
