Recipe Reinvention: Healthy Bagel and Lox

The other day, the hubs and I were in need of a light lunch/brunch, especially after totally breaking my own rules and eating red meat. (I'm trying to do fish and veggies 4/7 days)
I present to you, bagel and lox, the healthy version.


Ingredients: Pastrami smoked salmon, avocado, sprouts, chive spread, multi-grain bread, cucumber, onion, olive oil, and spinach.



First things first, toast your bread.



Spread the magic, aka the spread, and then throw on the slices of avocado. I like avocado, so I put a lot.


Next, toss on the onion and cucumber. At this point, I like to do a pinch of sea salt and some freshly ground black pepper.


Add spinach, sprouts (mini plants packed full of healthy stuff), and Pastrami style smoked salmon. You really can use any smoked salmon, but I personally love the seasonings and the extra thin slice.



I also made a salad with the extra cucumber and avocado. I sliced tomatoes, the remaining avocado, onion, lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. So delish.



Glamour shots of the final product...





Hope you enjoy!
