SERVES: 4
INGREDIENTS:
• approx. 12 ounces sliced smoked salmon
• 1 small to medium size ripe tomato, cored, halved and cut into thin slices
• 1/2 small to medium size cucumber, halved lengthwise, deseeded and thinly sliced crosswise
• 1/4 - 1/3 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 8 -12 ounces cream cheese
• bagel chips as needed
• fresh sprouts as needed
• extra virgin olive oil for garnish
• black pepper for garnish
PROCEDURE:
1. There are no set amounts for something like this but you'll want to place a thin layer of sliced smoked salmon on each plate and top that with a sprinkling of thinly sliced tomato and thinly sliced, deseeded cucumber.
2. Sprinkle on a little very thinly sliced red onion and add a few good dollops of room temperature cream cheese and place a bagel chip into each dollop of cream cheese.
3. Sprinkle on some fresh sprouts if you're using them, drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the top and finish with a crack of black pepper.
HINTS:
A salad like this works best for an upscale dinner party and you don't want to assemble it until just before you're ready to serve it. Use your fingers and a fork at the same time to eat this.
