Begin by preparing the cashew cream spread. Soak 1 cup of raw cashews in hot water for 10 to 15 minutes, then drain.
In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, 1 garlic clove, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 cup of water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more water if necessary. Set aside.
Slice the bagels in half and toast them lightly in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown. This should take about 5 minutes.
While the bagels are toasting, thinly slice 1 small cucumber and half a medium red onion.
Once toasted, spread a generous layer of the cashew cream on each bagel half.
Layer the smoked salmon evenly on top of the cashew spread.
Add the sliced cucumber and red onion on top of the smoked salmon.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of capers over each bagel half.
Garnish with a bit of fresh dill.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious dairy-free smoked salmon bagel!
