Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt instead of nonfat plain yogurt. You can also substitute fresh herbs with dried ones; just use about one-third the amount. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper. This dip can also be made ahead of time, making it a perfect choice for gatherings alongside other American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this salmon dip with an assortment of fresh vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, and cucumber for a colorful platter. It also pairs well with whole-grain crackers or pita chips.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover salmon dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain its texture, avoid freezing the dip, as the yogurt may separate upon thawing. When ready to enjoy, simply give it a good stir before serving again.
