Step 1

In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, lemon pepper, and dill until everything is nice and smooth. Then gently fold in the chopped green onions and smoked salmon, making sure they’re evenly combined. Cover the spread and pop it in the fridge for at least an hour so the flavors can meld together. When you’re ready to serve, give it a quick stir and enjoy!
