8 oz. cream cheese, softened

3 oz. smoked salmon

2 T. heavy cream

1/2 t. lemon juice

1/2 t. horseradish (or to taste)

Pepper to taste

1 seedless cucumber, sliced thin

Fresh dill

Cabaret Crackers or Bremner Wafers

In blender or food processor, whip cream cheese. Add smoked salmon, heavy cream, lemon juice, horseradish and pepper. Process until smooth. Place into a crock or serving bowl. Garnish with cucumber and dill. Serve on a platter with cucumber and dill garnish and Cabaret, Bremner or other delicious Dare Crackers.

Helpful Hints:
To make salmon mousse in decorative shapes use any metal cookie cutters. Spray the insides of the cookie cutters with non-stick cooking spray. On a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper spoon salmon and place another piece of waxed paper on top. Roll with a rolling pin until 1/2O thick. Freeze on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then cut with cookie cutters. For bridal showers or wedding, use all heart shapes. Try stars for an evening theme.

Another pretty option is to top crackers with cucumber and dill, then pipe the salmon spread into a small florette on top of each cracker. Serve with red peppers or capers and chopped red onion.
