Ingredients
4ouncescream cheesesoftened to room temperature
2tablespoonsmayonnaise
1teaspoonCajun seasoning*
A few dashes of hot sauce
6ounces1 can of salmondrained
2scallionschopped {both white and green parts}
Instructions
In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, mayonnaise and Cajun seasoning and hot sauce until smooth and well combined. {I used a hand mixer to make it easier, but you can also use a mixing spoon and some elbow grease if you're up for it.}
Add the drained salmon and mix until well-combined. Fold in the scallions.
Cover and refrigerate or 1-2 hours or overnight. You could serve this right away, but letting it sit allows the flavors to marry, so I recommend doing so if possible.
Serve with crackers, raw veggies or use as a spread on wraps and cut into pinwheels.
Notes
*Some Cajun seasonings contain more salt than others, so be sure to read the ingredients as to not over-salt your spread.
