The Best Smoked Salmon Dip Recipe!

The flavors of this dip are reminiscent to a holiday cheeseball but made just that much better with the depth of flavor from the smoked salmon and the McCormick Guacamole seasoning in it!

Plus this dip is creamier and not so thick that you break cracker after cracker as with most cheeseballs.

What better time to make this crave-worthy dip than during football season?

Now that the holidays are over it seems like all the fun went with them but having football games to cheer for, of course which are paired with plenty of good party foods, gives families and friends something to look forward to during such a drab month.

Perfect Game Day Snack!

This rich and cheesy dip is a perfect halftime snack for Saturdays upcoming game against Seattle vs. Detroit.

And as a matter of fact McCormick has teamed me up against another food blogger representing the opposing team – one of my best blogging friends, Averie Sunshine from Averie Cooks!

Averie has made a simple yet delicious looking Motor Coney Dip to represent Detroits team (I can’t wait to try that one too)! Which of our teams will win? Guess we’ll find out Saturday.
