Sometimes I just make stuff

Sometimes I just make stuff and see if its good

I saw cold crab in the fridge and smoked salmon. I put garlic creamcheese into a bowl with cheddar and heated it up, then I slapped in minced crab and smoked salmon, along with some mayonnaise, pepper, salt, lemon juice, raw white onion minced, and a tiny bit of sugar.

Then i threw it in the fridge, cooled it down, and im using some crackers to dip into it.

Its pretty good, but im thinking the smoked salmon was a bad idea. its kind of too strong and maybe its a little too salty, not enough sweetness from the crab.

Part of me was thinking too, maybe capers would go good in this but then thats just way too much salt.

I added lemon juice to try and tone it down but still pretty salty and hard to reduce the smokey taste. If I ever do add salmon into a dip it wont be smoked unless it makes sense.

But yea sometimes I just make stuff and see if its good. I did look up a recipe afterward for crab dip and was pretty surprised many recipes actually included what I just thought would taste good together. Making random stuff is making me a better cook.
