Why This Recipe Works
For a fresh, vegetable-forward take on a classic brunch staple, we combined the elements of one of our favorite loaded bagels—smoked salmon, cucumber, red onion, capers, and lemon—into a hearty salad. In lieu of hefty, rich cream cheese, we made a tangy, spoonable sour cream–based dressing. We didn't overlook the bagel completely; here, bagel chips stood in for croutons, and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning made for a playful finish.
