Lox and Bagels for the ultimate reunion
Smoked Salmon (Lox)
Get 2.5 – 3.0 Lb. of New York’s Delicacy smoked salmon sliced fillets.
Bagels
Obviously. Get at least a dozen fresh made bagels; be sure to offer a variety (but go big on Everything, the superior bagel). Buy them the morning of.
Cream Cheese
Buy 12 oz. plain cream cheese to serve alongside the doctored cream cheese here. Let it soften at room temperature and transfer to a plate or bowl—never serve it straight from the package.
ALL NATURAL
No artificial flavoring, coloring or preservatives are used in any of the production processes.
Other Smoked Fish (optional)
You can add 1 Lb. of other smoked fish spread or salad. Try a mix of the classics—smoked whitefish or sable—and some less traditional picks like smoked trout or smoked mackerel.
Cucumber and Radish (Optional)
Thin slices of cucumbers and radishes (you’ll need a hothouse cucumber and a handful of radishes) add a refreshing crunch.
Onion
Thinly slice 1 small red onion.
Dill
Any fresh tender herb will do, but dill is especially good with salmon.
Tomato
Slice a couple beefsteak tomatoes—better when they’re in season!
Lemon (Optional)
Cut a lemon into small wedges for squeezing over a dressed bagel.
Serve with a cold white Chardonnay and you are ready to go!
