Cured Salmon and Shrimp Salad with Dill and Chives

Cured Salmon and Shrimp Salad with Dill and Chives
A bright, elegant starter that’s as simple to make as it is impressive to serve. Silky cured salmon meets plump shrimp in a creamy dill-flecked base, lifted by fresh chives and a squeeze of lemon. Perfect on crispbread or toasted rye for brunch, lunch, or a holiday spread. Ready in 15 minutes, with flavor that lingers long after the last bite.
