Notes
- Lox are salty so we like to use half lox and half smoked salmon. You CAN use all lox but it may be saltier than you are expecting. You can also use all smoked salmon if you prefer.
- The Franks red hot sauce does not make this dip spicy, it just adds a nice flavor element.
- Store in fridge in airtight container for up to 4 days.
- If you chill the dip overnight, it becomes more of a soft spread, which is great for spreading on crackers!
