    Why You'll Love Smoked Salmon 7-Layer Dip

    This seafood spin on the traditional Mexican 7-layer dip is unexpected, lighter, and yet still full of flavor. The fresh radish and shallots add a nice crunch that balances out the smoky salmon and richness of the cheese.

    You can make this dip in advance, up to a day ahead of time! Just keep it in the fridge until you're ready to serve. Such a great make-ahead solution for taking to parties, potlucks and buffets.

    To keep this a grain-free and gluten-free appetizer, serve it with endive leaves – they are the perfect vessel for scooping up this delectable dip! And for those not following a grain-free eating plan, Smoked Salmon 7-Layer Dip pairs well with crackers, mini bagels and crostini.
