Ingredients
  

4 plain bagels, halved and toasted

8 oz smoked salmon, thinly sliced

1 cup cream cheese, softened (plain or flavored)

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced

1 cup arugula or spinach

1 lemon, zested and juiced

2 tablespoons capers, drained

Fresh dill, for garnish (optional)

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bagels: Begin by toasting the bagel halves until golden brown. You can use a toaster or an oven, whichever you prefer.

    Cream Cheese Spread: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the lemon zest and juice. This will add a refreshing flavor to the spread. Stir well until thoroughly combined.

      Layer the Base: Spread a generous layer of the lemon-infused cream cheese on each toasted bagel half.

        Assemble the Ingredients: On each cream-cheesed bagel, layer the smoked salmon slices, a few onion rings, slices of avocado, and a handful of arugula or spinach.

          Add Flavor Boosts: Top each bagel with a sprinkle of capers and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If you love dill, garnish with a sprig or two for an added burst of fresh flavor.

            Serve: Arrange the assembled bagels on a serving platter. Serve immediately for breakfast or brunch, or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap for a delicious on-the-go meal.
