Chopped Lox & Veggie Bagel

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

Chopping the veggies and smoked salmon together with the cream cheese allows for an even distribution of ingredients, ensuring the perfect bite every time. We like the flavor and fiber that a whole-grain everything bagel adds, but any kind of bagel works well here. For a fun twist, use a flavored cream cheese.

Ingredients:
  • 3 ounces cream cheese
  • 4 ounces smoked salmon
  • 1 slice beefsteak tomato
  • 6 slices english cucumber
  • 2 tablespoons sliced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon sliced scallion
  • 3 sprigs fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon capers, rinsed
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 whole-grain everything bagels, toasted
Directions:
  1. Spread cream cheese on a cutting board. Top with smoked salmon, tomato, cucumber, onion, scallion, dill and capers; season with pepper. Chop the mixture until it’s chunky and everything is well incorporated. Divide the mixture evenly between 2 bagel halves; top with the other halves.
