1 Tbsp shallot, minced

1 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped

2 tsp lemon juice

6 ounces smoked salmon, chopped fine

1 bunch watercress, rinsed and dried very well

Using an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese until it is light and fluffy. Add in the capers, shallot, dill and lemon juice and mix well. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the smoked salmon pieces.
