Directions
Stir the softened cream cheese with the lemon juice and black pepper until smooth.
Thinly slice the cucumber and red onion. Drain the capers, chop the dill, and wash and dry the greens.
Toast the split bagels until golden on the cut sides. Arrange on a platter with the cream cheese and vegetables.
Add the chilled smoked salmon, capers, and dill. Serve while the bagels are warm, with the toppings ready to assemble.
