And just look at these vibrant mini sweet peppers!! It screams SPRING. I love the freshness, crispness and sweetness of these mini peppers.

I came up with this idea when I was snacking on sweet peppers, dipping them in a tub of whipped cream cheese. Nothing fancy, plain cream cheese with sweet peppers, but let me tell ya it’s delicious!

At the time, I just happened to have smoked salmon too. It was a no-brainer. Since dill and lemon are kind of go hand in hand with smoked salmon, I mixed those with cream cheese for additional flavor and voila!

I love leaving the green tops when I slice the peppers. I think it adds to the cuteness, and also serves as a handle. But it’s totally up to you to leave it or not.

Please tell me you gonna make these?
