Smoked salmon is blended with cheddar cheese, mayo, lemon juice, and herbs in this low FODMAP Smoked Salmon & Cheddar Spread.
I had the opportunity to sample some smoked salmon at the grocery store a while back. I thought it was delicious and bought some. But what to do with it? Smoked salmon is usually served on or in some sort of cream cheese mixture. However, cream cheese has moderate amounts of lactose, so I wanted to come up with a replacement.
At first I just tried mayo, which was good, but was lacking that cheesy flavor. I decided to add some cheddar cheese into the mix. It turned out to be an awesome choice. This smoked salmon and sharp cheddar combination is very addictive. Be sure to have a lot of crackers on hand to serve it with!
I found that Morey’s brand of smoked salmon, the “Classic” variety, does not contain any FODMAP ingredients. As for crackers, I like Glutino Table Crackers (pictured) or Blue Diamond Nut Thins (Affiliate links: as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases). Both are a very mild tasting cracker, the perfect vehicle for this bold tasting spread. Low FODMAP Smoked Salmon & Cheddar Spread on crackers makes an excellent snack or appetizer.
