* 8 ounces smoked salmon

* 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
* 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
== Directions ==
# Cut half of the salmon into chunks.
# Dice the remaining salmon.
# Place cottage cheese in a fine-mesh sieve and press on it to remove excess moisture.

# Add the salmon chunks, vodka, lemon juice, mustard and horseradish.
# Process until smooth.
# Transfer the mixture to bowl and fold in the diced salmon.
# Refrigerate until chilled. Make ahead tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
