Smoked Salmon Dip

The other day I had to prepare a last minute healthy snackboard for a somewhat unexpected supper.

A manic pantry and fridge search turned up a tub of natural pot set yoghurt, a can of salmon, a 50g packet of smoked salmon, caperberries and dill, which I keep chopped in the freezer. Perfect for a healthy dip!

Bursting with tangy flavour from the capers , the dip can be whizzed up in no time and is a healthy low fat alternative to store bought ones, which are normally cream cheese based and can contain various additives.

The dip was so good there was no leftovers. Luckily, I saved half a batch for our pleasure and used it to top hard boiled eggs for breakfast the next day. Deliciousness.

The dip is quick to make and goes well with eggs or even mixed in with cold pasta for a tasty salad. Low in fat and additives, it is a nutritious alternative to store bought dips.
