Add the room temperature mascarpone or cream cheese to a large bowl.

Next add the chopped green onions, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and paprika to the bowl with the cheese.

Mix this up with a spoon until everything is fully combined. Then add the finely shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture and stir it in well.

Crumble up the smoked salmon into bite size pieces and add it to the cheese mixture.

Gently stir the salmon into the cheese until it is fully incorporated.

Serve with your favorite crackers or chips.
