This smoked salmon salad recipe tastes just like a cream cheese and lox bagel, only so much healthier! Cucumber, dill, tomatoes and gluten free bagel chips are topped with a drizzle of homemade cream cheese dressing. To make it keto, just omit the bagel chips.
Cut the bagels in half. Subsequently, divide each bagel into individual segments of around 1-inch wide. Place the bagel pieces in an oven preheated to grill or broil mode and toast until they become golden brown
Put the cream cheese and buttermilk in a blender or food processor and mix. Add in the lemon juice, 1 ½ tablespoons of capers, chives, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of everything but the bagel seasoning; pulse until all ingredients are blended together. Slowly stream in the olive oil.
Layer a large platter or bowl with greens. Top with thinly cut tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. Then, spread thin slices of smoked salmon. Generously drizzle salad with cream cheese vinaigrette and top it with dill and leftover capers.
Finally, sprinkle remaining everything but the bagel seasoning. Season with salt and pepper if desired over the salad and toss.
