Why we ❤️ it

Finger foods and dips go together like... like, er, two things that go together. Ahem. Today I am kinda blocked, so please bear with me.

I have received many an email asking for recipes for sauces and dips that go with fried finger foods. So, I am going to reveal one of my secret dips to you: this rich, creamy tuna or salmon caper dip, which will have your guests begging you for the recipe in no time at all. Let's get the party started!

Serving suggestions

This substantial and creamy canned salmon dip is perfect with chips, fritters, breadsticks, and other finger foods.

You can use it to make mini-sandwiches, and it could also serve it with your preferred chips.

About this recipe

A long time ago I tried cassava fries served with a sauce that contained radish and capers in some fancy beach club restaurant. So I decided to create my own sauce, it has a few ingredients in common with that sauce (namely capers and radish), but some of the changes give it a very different array of tastes.

I prefer it with canned salmon, and though the tuna and mayo dip is also very good, the salmon dip with mayo will be a bit extra fancy and richer.

This was a hit at home, and I will be serving it often.

Buen provecho!

Tips and Notes

I absolutely love the taste of dill in this sauce, especially with salmon, but if you can't find or don't have dill (I can't find it sometimes), then parsley is also very good.

If you would like it to be creamier without adding extra mayo, you can add a few tablespoons of plain greek yogurt.
