Everything Bagel Salmon Sandwich Salad

• Mesculin mix salad greens
• Cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced in half, 10-15
• Red onion (1/3- 1/2 cup)
• Philadelphia cream cheese
• 2 “everything” bagels
• Smoked salmon/lox
• Everything Bagel sesame seasoning (available at Trader Joes and other grocery stores)

Dressing

• Half cup olive oil
• Juice of half lemon and half lime
• Splash of champagne vinegar
• A drop of Dijon mustard
• Salt & pepper
• Garlic powder

The dressing is heavy on oil. If you don’t like dressing with oil, a good balsamic vinegar is tasty too.

1. Make the dressing
2. Slice the red onion thinly into slices and then into ½ inch pieces
3. Pour a Tablespoon or two of dressing over the onions to marinade
4. Cut the bagels in 1 inch pieces (e.g slice them in half, then in quarters, then into the 1 inch or so pieces). Lay them out in a small pan and toast- I use a toaster oven.
5. Sort and tear up mesculin greens and put a large bowl
6. Add the sliced tomatoes and onions
7. Add the toasted bagels
8. Pour some of the Everything Bagel Seasoning into a small dish.
9. Take small chunks of Philadelphia cream cheese and roll them around in the seasoning mix until they are totally covered. Add to the salad
10. Cut the lox/smoked salmon slices into 1 inch pieces, and add to the salad.
11. Dress the salad immediately before serving.
