Ingredient substitutions
Cream cheese
- Neufchâtel cheese: Lower fat but still creamy; blend thoroughly for smoothness.
- Mascarpone: Produces a richer, milder dip.

- Greek yogurt: Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a tangy, lighter dip.
- Crème fraîche: Keeps the dip very smooth.
Lemon juice
- Lime juice: Slightly more aromatic citrus flavor.
- White wine vinegar: Use half as much and add slowly to avoid sharpness.
Smoked salmon
- Hot-smoked salmon: Creates a chunkier dip with stronger smokiness.
- Smoked trout: Milder and slightly sweeter.
Chives
- Green onions: Use finely sliced green parts only.
Dill
- Parsley: Less aromatic but fresh tasting.
