Pink Girlie Cocktails and Hot Smoked Salmon Spread!
Hot smoked salmon is the key ingredient to this light, savory dish that is tasty and sooo girlie!
We topped whole wheat crackers with the delicate creamy and sublte flavors of the salmon spread.
My dear, BFF shared her favorite recipe with me and I will share it with you.
Ingredients
6-8oz hot smoked salmon finely chopped
1 Tbspn fresh dill finely chopped
1 Tbspn fresh parsley finely chopped
1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
1/4- 1/2 cup of Hellman’s Real Mayonnaise
1 large garlic clove crushed
A sqeeze of fresh lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
The real secret to the success of this recipe is to mix the mayo, garlic and lemon together very well before adding to the salmon.
Mix well and serve chilled!
Pink and girlie all around when friends just want to have fun!
This delicious pink cocktail was inspired by a magical elixir we had at Le Colonial.
We tried to approximate the light tropical flavors of the passion fruit martinis we ordered and serve them “family style”!
We mixed a high quality, low sugar coconut pineapple juice with a light berry juice mix, and added vodka and fresh lime.
The result was sublime!
