I am not super opinionated or judgmental about toppings, spreads, etc. The following recipe is simply the way I top my bagel when presented with a platter.
Ingredients

- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 tsp. fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2 tsp. lemon juice

- 2 bagels, sliced and toasted if desired
- 8 slices Lox, sliced paper thin
- 2/3 c. schmear, such as cream cheese, tofu spread or whitefish salad
- Thinly sliced tomato
- Thinly sliced cucumber
- Thinly sliced red onion
- Capers
- Fresh dill, for garnish
Instructions
Steps:
- For the cream cheese: In a medium bowl fold together cream cheese, scallions, dill and lemon
juice until fully combined.
2.For the bagels: Spread schmear equally on each slice of bagel. Top with 2 slices of lox, tomato, cucumber, red onion and capers. Serve the bagels open face and top with some fresh dill.
