Treat your ingredients with care...
- Smoked salmon — Make sure to choose high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor. If you prefer a milder smoky taste, you can opt for cold-smoked salmon instead of hot-smoked salmon.

- For a creamier dressing, you can add a tablespoon of mayonnaise to the sour cream mixture.
- Feel free to customize the salad by adding other vegetables such as bell peppers or cherry tomatoes.
- To make it more substantial, you can serve the salad on a bed of fresh lettuce or arugula.
- If you don't have fresh dill, you can substitute it with dried dill, but use half the amount.
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
