Smoked Salmon Dip
Makes 2 cups
Prep Time: 10 minutes
BEER PAIRING
Pair with a Shandy like Leinenkugel’s® Summer Shandy
Weiss beer brewed with honey and lemonade flavor
Swimming with flavor, the lemony and smoky tastes in this Smoked Salmon Dip are paired to perfection with the bright lemon citrus notes in Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy.
Wow—here’s a pairing that’s practically made for brunch. Bright lemon citrus notes in Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy play off the lemon juice in the dip and lend a familiar contrast to the savory smoked salmon. Plus, the fresh herbs you use will get an even bigger stage thanks to this beer’s peppery hop character.
