  1. In a food processor, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, freshly squeezed lemon juice, Tabasco sauce, and capers. Pulse until mostly smooth, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add smoked salmon, fresh chives, and dill. Fold gently to retain visible flakes; this step should take about 1 minute.
  3. Pulse briefly for 15-20 seconds to finely chop the salmon and herbs while keeping some texture.
  4. Transfer to a serving bowl, adjust salt to taste, and serve immediately or refrigerate and bring to room temperature before serving.
