Tips & Notes
• Substitute reduced fat, light sour cream if you can’t find nonfat or low-fat plain Greek yogurt.
• Substitute ½ teaspoon dried dill instead of fresh for convenience.
• Find packages of smoked salmon in the refrigerated seafood case.
• If you’re not a horseradish fan, just leave it out and add a smidgen more lemon juice.
