Classic Bagel and Lox

By

This beloved deli sandwich is a classic for a reason.

The Gourmandize Team

Savory smoked salmon combines perfectly with rich cream cheese, briny capers, crispy red onions and fresh dill, for a sandwich that is uniquely flavorful and satisfying. While it's usually served open-faced, we like to enjoy it with both bagel halves.
