Ingredients
For the dressing
- 2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice or white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons capers in brine, drained and chopped
- Freshly cracked black pepper
For the salad
- 3 cups (3 ounces) chopped romaine hearts
- 6 ounces lox or other smoked salmon
- 12 cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered if large
- 1/4 small red onion (2 ounces total), thinly sliced
- 2/3 cup (3 3/4 ounces) fresh goat cheese crumbles
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 cup (2 ounces) plain bagel chips
- 3 sprigs fresh dill, for garnish
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice or vinegar. Stir in the capers and season to taste with pepper.
Step 2
On a serving platter or a large plate, arrange the romaine. Using your hands, break the lox into chunks, then scatter it evenly over the greens. Top with the tomatoes and red onion.
Step 3
In a small bowl, toss the goat cheese with everything bagel seasoning until the cheese is coated with the seasoning. Sprinkle the mixture over the salad, followed by the bagel chips, broken up if desired. Drizzle the dressing over everything. Pick small fronds off the dill and add them to the salad, along with another generous sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning, then serve.
