Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Whole grain bagel
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat cream cheese
- 2 ounces Lox (smoked salmon)
- 0.25 small Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 1 small Tomato
- 0.25 small Cucumber
- 1 teaspoon Fresh dill
- 0.5 Lemon
- 0.125 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
Slice the whole grain bagel in half and toast it until lightly golden.
While the bagel is toasting, thinly slice the red onion, tomato, and cucumber. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cream cheese with the fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon juice from half a lemon to add extra flavor.
Once the bagel is toasted, spread a generous layer of the dill-infused cream cheese evenly over both halves.
Layer the tomato slices on top of the cream cheese, followed by the cucumber slices.
Place the smoked salmon (lox) evenly over the vegetables on both bagel halves.
Sprinkle the sliced red onion and capers on top of the lox.
Finish with a dash of fresh ground black pepper for an extra kick.
Serve immediately with a lemon wedge on the side for optional drizzling.
