Here’s a good spread to put on your lefse! And just in time for holiday entertaining! You can spread in on the lefse rounds, roll it up, and cut in serving pieces with those cute little frilly toothpicks if you like. I want to find some toothpicks with the Norwegian flag for a fun presentation!

This recipe is from Barefoot Contessa at http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/smoked-salmon-spread-recipe3/index.html

Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish, drained
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 pound (4 ounces) smoked salmon, minced

Directions

Cream the cheese in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until just smooth. Add the sour cream, lemon juice, dill, horseradish, salt, and pepper, and mix. Add the smoked salmon and mix well. Chill and serve with lefse.

If you can find it, use Norwegian salmon; it’s drier and less salty than other smoked salmon.
