Need a light appetizer that packs a punch of flavor? Try Live Well Alabama’s fan favorite Lemon and Salmon Dip before a meal. Break out the celery sticks, carrots, or bell peppers for dipping and let everybody enjoy.

Tips: No salmon? Use canned tuna or chicken instead. Zest is grated lemon peel that adds tons of flavor. Before juicing, lightly rub a whole lemon against a cheese grater with smaller holes if you don’t have a zester.

Ingredients

• 1 can pink salmon, 7 ounces, drained and deboned
• ¼ cup low fat sour cream
• ½ cup celery, finely chopped
• ¼ cup green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
• ½ teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/8 teaspoon paprika

Directions

• Combine all ingredients except paprika in small bowl. Mix well.
• Sprinkle paprika evenly on top.
• Cover and refrigerate. Serve chilled with assorted raw vegetables for dipping.
