- 2 slices Red onion
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Slice the whole grain bagel in half using a serrated knife and lightly toast it in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.
While the bagel is toasting, mash half of the avocado in a small bowl using a fork. Add lemon juice and black pepper, and mix until smooth.
Spread 2 tablespoons of low-fat cream cheese evenly on the bottom half of the toasted bagel.
Arrange 3 ounces of smoked salmon over the cream cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed for optimal flavor.
Spread the mashed avocado mixture on the top half of the bagel.
Garnish the salmon-topped half of the bagel with 2 slices of red onion, 1 tablespoon of capers, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of fresh dill.
Top with 1/4 cup of arugula for added freshness and nutrients.
Carefully place the avocado-smeared top half over the loaded bottom half, slice the bagel in half if desired, and serve immediately.
