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!

Introductions.

Well, dear readers (aka mom and Rachel), Hello!

With encouragement from my very special person/hubs, I present to you my first blog post. I hope to chronicle my life in Dallas, Texas, my time studying interior design, and other things I deem interesting and/or blog-worthy. Which will probably cover things like good food that I made or would like to make, or really pretty rooms and fancy/nice clothes.

I also have a really cute collection of animals that I enjoy talking about. And posting videos of.

But that will come at a later date.

See you soon,

R.
