Lox and Bagel Breakfast Bowl
For a healthy, simple and gorgeous way to start your morning, try Lox and Bagel Breakfast Bowl. This fresh bowl filled with all things wonderful and topped with a lemon-honey dressing will satisfy all tastes.
I typically make myself a breakfast that’s very healthy and delicious: my go-to is a fried egg laid over peppery arugula, with cukes, chopped tomatoes and red bell pepper on the side. All I need is some good salt and freshly ground pepper and I am very, very happy.
I make my own cured salmon (it’s so easy, you must try it!) and started adding that to my plate instead of the egg, or sometimes with it!
But, I could never get the look right to be able to photograph it well, so I decided to switch it up a bit…how about a bowl versus a plate? How about hard-boiled eggs instead of a fried egg? And how about pickled red onions, capers and dill to top it and pop it? Yes, yes and yes!
The components are simple:
arugula or romaine for the base of the bowl
halved cherry tomatoes
sliced mini or Persian
cucumbers
thinly sliced cured salmon (try either Beet-Cured Salmon Gravlax or Sugar & Salt-Cured Salmon) or store-bought smoked salmon
hard-boiled eggs
capers
dill
lemon, honey, olive oil for the dressing
This recipe comes together in no time, especially if the salmon, red onions and hard-boiled eggs are all prepped ahead of time.
Now, time for a relaxing Sunday morning!
