I first had this at a great grocery store near New Holland, PA. I was doing some contract work there at the time, and of course I can’t go anywhere without going into any good grocery store I can find! I’ve never tried to measure what I put in, it just depends on how I feel at the time, and what I may substitute, so you’re really just getting a list of the ingredients.
This is a great appetizer. I like to serve it in Boston lettuce leaves. If you get smoked salmon that’s shelf stable, packaged in a box (it’s usually less expensive) – all you have to do is remove all the skin and gray meat, then squeeze lemon over the whole thing, and voila, you’re ready to rock and roll.
