Smoked Salmon Spread

Move over cream cheese. This light and full flavored spread is great on a toasted whole grain bagel with tomato slices and capers. It can also be thinned and used as a dip. smoked salmon has a richer color and flavor, but canned pink salmon works well too. For Thanksgiving, serve on cucumber rounds or small whole grain crackers.
