  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning

  • Add Ingredients: Add the thinly sliced red onion, diced smoked salmon, whipped chive cream cheese, diced avocado, and capers to the container.
    150 g smoked salmon, 4 oz whipped chive cream cheese, 1/2 avocado, 1/4 red onion, 2 tablespoons capers
  • Season: Sprinkle in the everything bagel seasoning, followed by salt, pepper, and MSG (if using).

  • Mix: Secure the lid on the container and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to mix all ingredients thoroughly.
  • Marinate: Refrigerate for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve: Before serving, give the container another quick shake to redistribute the ingredients. Serve chilled, either directly from the container or transfer to a bowl.

Notes

  • Freshness: For the best flavor, consume this salad within 24 hours. If making in advance, add the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
  • Customization: Feel free to add a squeeze of lemon juice or fresh dill for an extra zing.
  • Versatility: Enjoy this salad on its own or as a topping for bagels, toast, or crackers.
