Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 scallions, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large everything bagels, torn into bite-sized pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons everything bagel topping (see Cook's Note)
4 ounces cream cheese (1/2 block), cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes
5 ounces mixed baby greens
4 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 scallions, chopped
4 sprigs fresh dill, leaves only

Steps:

For the dressing: Whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon and honey in a small bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking until creamy. Stir in the scallions and season with salt and pepper.
For the salad: Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bagels and cook, tossing occasionally, until golden and crispy on the outside, about 7 minutes (they'll still be a little chewy on the inside, but that's good). Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with salt and set aside.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice water bath. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water, reduce to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes. Transfer to the ice bath to cool (or run under cold water for a little). Peel and slice into halves or quarters.
Place the everything bagel topping in a bowl. Roll the cream cheese cubes into little balls with your hands and then roll them around in the everything bagel topping.
On a serving plate, arrange the mixed greens. Top with the tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, bagel croutons, cream cheese balls, eggs, scallions, dill, a few pinches of salt and a few turns of pepper. Drizzle with the dressing.

2 to 3 tablespoons olive or canola oil
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt
Lemon-Caper Vinaigrette:
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons capers in brine, drained
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

4 ounces smoked salmon or lox, sliced paper thin and torn into pieces
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened but cool, torn into rough chunks
4 ounces baby spinach
1 small bulb fennel, sliced paper thin
1/2 English cucumber, sliced paper thin
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

For the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the bagel pieces in a large bowl, drizzle with the olive oil, and toss to coat. Add the poppy seeds, sesame seeds and some salt; toss again. Spread the bagel pieces out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until light golden brown and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. For the vinaigrette: Put the lemon zest and juice, dill, capers, mustard, and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl; whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make a thick creamy dressing. Taste, and season with salt and pepper. For the salad: Put the croutons, smoked salmon and cream cheese in a large bowl, and then mound the spinach, fennel, cucumber and red onion on top. Spoon some of the vinaigrette around the side of the bowl and toss gently to coat the salad with dressing. Spoon the remaining vinaigrette nicely on individual serving plates and gently mound some salad on top. Serve immediately.
