Sunday Brunch - Bagel and Lox Platter With Caprese Salad

This past Sunday was a relaxing day. I am now back in the routine of getting the New York times on Sunday, and the local delivery person has the decency to deliver it prior to 6 AM, and the additional decency not to fling it against a security screen, and therefore awakening half the neighbors.

I had a craving for bagels and lox. Good old smoked salmon and a bagel platter with all the works. And we had a chilled bottle of Freixenet for Mimosas.

This one doesn't require a recipe at all. I laid out Everything Bagels, sliced smoked salmon, whipped cream cheese, sliced tomatoes and red onion, chopped dill and lots of capers.

For the salad, just slice tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, intersperse with big basil leaves on a platter, drizzle with good balsamic and olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Mangia!
