- When selecting cream cheese, look for one that is spreadable and has a smooth texture.
- When selecting smoked salmon, look for one with a bright, pink color and a fresh smell.
- Substitute cream cheese with ricotta cheese for a lighter option - Ricotta cheese is a great substitute for cream cheese as it is much lighter and lower in fat, but still has a creamy texture and mild flavor that pairs well with smoked salmon.
- Substitute olive oil with coconut oil for a healthier option - Coconut oil is a healthier option than olive oil as it is lower in saturated fat and contains beneficial fatty acids. It also has a mild flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients in the dish.
