Lunch

I have been better lately about bringing my lunch to work. It is very entertaining for my friends. They look, "what's in there", "how'd you make that", "can I have a bite".......
Sometimes it is just those return glances and "that looks fabulous" comments that prompt the offer of a taste. I always bring generous portions because I know there is a good chance that it will be feeding more than me.

Smoked Salmon Spread

One 6 oz package of smoked salmon (like lox)
2 tblsp fine chopped onion
4 oz Goat Cheese
5 oz Low Fat Cream Cheese
Pepper to taste, careful and wait on the salt
1 Tblsp (+/-) Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce
Toss it in the Food Processor and blend till smooth and creamy, I add about 1-2 tblsp non-fat evaporated milk to make it as creamy as I want it. You don't need to be exact in anything. Increasing the salmon will give you more intense salmon flavor, more goat cheese than cream cheese will add a bit more sharpness and the chili sauce...well, it is up to your tolerance!!
