• Cream Cheese – Before combining ingredients, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature. It helps to combine the ingredients with ease so that it is smooth and creamy.

• Food Processor – If you are adding in capers, you may need to use a food processor to blend chop them. This helps them to mix into the dip easily.
• Fresh Herbs – Add fresh herbs to the dip for amazing flavor. Try adding fresh chives. We have even added in chopped red onion for amazing flavor.
• Lemon Zest – We love the flavor that fresh lemon juice gives to this dip. I recommend using fresh lemon instead of bottle lemon juice. Add in lemon zest to enhance the lemon flavor.
• Smoked Fish – This smoked fish dip would be delicious dipped with fresh shrimp if you prefer.
• Sour Cream – If you want a lighter version of this dip, substitute the sour cream with Greek Yogurt. You can also use mayonnaise for a great alternative.
