Smoked Salmon Dip

So we took a little time off here at the "Chef" to get the summer garden going.   Pics coming soon to the "Garden" page!  My sister just got back from a trip to Alaska and had this wonderful salmon shipped back.  So here's a great little appetizer for your next summer get-together . . . Fourth of July long weekend is coming up soon!   Enjoy.
