Ingredients

1 pound Cream Cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup Sour cream
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
2 l Small Shallots, minced
1 l Red Bell Pepper, finely diced
3 stalks Celery, finely diced
6 l Green onion, thinly sliced
1-1/2 pounds Smoked whitefish, bones and skin removed
2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
2 tablespoons Lemon Balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Tuscan olive oil

Steps:

Mix cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, old bay, vinegar and oil until smooth. Add shallots, red pepper, celery, onions and smoked fish. Process on low until just mixed (or hand mix). Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Serve with crackers.

Tips:

To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality smoked whitefish. Look for fish that is firm and has a light, smoky aroma.
If you can't find smoked whitefish, you can use another type of smoked fish, such as salmon or trout. Just adjust the amount of lemon juice and dill to taste.
To make the dip ahead of time, simply cover it and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before stirring.
Serve the dip with crackers, pita chips, or vegetables. For a more elegant presentation, spoon the dip into individual serving cups and garnish with fresh dill or chives.

Smoked whitefish dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dip that is both flavorful and satisfying.
