Have you ever been on a culinary tour? It's the most amazing thing ever if you love food. My downtown just did their second Taste of Downtown (insert town here) recently. It was amazing. 11 restaurants served samples of their food to 250 people as we walked around our downtown. I had some of the best hummus I have ever tasted, tropical fruit soup, couscous salad, red beans and rice, smoked salmon, local brewed beer and wine, chocolate cake, and much much more. It was wonderful to spend an afternoon walking around with my parents and husband, eating yummy food. Anyway, if you like smoked salmon, a recipe follows:
This one is simple and can be done for a tapas dinner or an appetizer for a party. Please, please get ecologically friendly wild salmon from Alaska...the Washington population is being over-fished and farmed salmon isn't really good for you or the environment due to the salmon's vegetarian diet (they are carnivores people!) and waste issues.
Smoked Salmon with Dill Cream cheese Ingredients: 1 4oz pkg smoked salmon, 1tbsp dried dill, plus more for garnish, 4oz cream cheese, and whole grain crackers. Directions: Mixed the dill with the cream cheese. Spoon small amounts onto crackers. Cut salmon into the same number of pieces as you have crackers covered with cream cheese. Put 1 piece of salmon on each cracker. Sprinkle with a little more dill. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 hours before serving.
Enjoy!
