Start by creating the vegan cream cheese. Soak the raw cashews in hot water for at least 15 minutes to soften them.
Drain the cashews and add them to a blender or food processor along with lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and water.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well blended.
Stir in finely chopped chives and dill weed until evenly incorporated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
Cut the vegan bagels in half and toast them to your preferred level of crispiness.
Spread a generous amount of the vegan cream cheese over each toasted bagel half.
Top the bagels with fresh tomato and cucumber slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Classic Cream Cheese Bagel with your favorite coffee or tea.
