Classic presentation of smoked salmon with cream cheese spreads and bagels
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces (1 pound) thinly sliced smoked salmon, salmon lox, or gravlax
- 2 medium red heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 4 radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- 1 Persian cucumber, thinly sliced lengthwise
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced cross-wise into rings
- ½ cup pickled red onions
- ¼ cup capers
- 6–8 caperberries
- ½ lemon, thinly sliced cross-wise
- ½ lemon, cut into wedges
- fresh chives and dill sprigs
- 8 ounces (1 cup) Herb Whipped Cream Cheese
- 8 ounces (1 cup) almond milk cream cheese (vegan)
- toasted bagels
- Everything Bagel Chips
Instructions
- Step: Carefully arrange individual slices of smoked salmon on one area of a large platter. Lift and “ruffle” the slices on the platter to make it easier for guests to pick up individual slices.
- Step: Arrange the tomatoes, radishes, avocado, cucumber, and red onions around the platter.
- Step: Place small bowls on the platter for the capers and pickled onions. You can also place little piles of the capers and pickled onions directly on the platter.
- Step: Place lemon slices, lemon wedges, chives, and dill around the platter.
- Step: Serve the platter with Herb Whipped Cream Cheese, almond milk cream cheese, toasted mini bagels, and Everything Bagel Chips for guests to assemble their own open-face or regular bagel sandwiches.
- Step: If you have leftovers, wrap components separately in plastic wrap or in tightly sealed storage containers and keep in refrigerator for about 2 days.
Notes
Use a ceramic platter or marble slab to make the colors stand out. For the herbed cream cheese, you can mix chopped basil, chives, scallions, and dill into plain whipped cream cheese.
