Ingredients

  • 4 thin stalks asparagus (about 2 oz)
  • 1 1/2 oz reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel), softened (about 2 rounded tablespoons)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 bagel, cut in half horizontally
  • 1 1/2 oz salmon lox (from 3-oz package)
  • Lemon wedges, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Break off tough ends of asparagus as far down as stalks snap easily. Cut asparagus in half crosswise into about 3-inch pieces. In 3-quart saucepan or skillet, place steamer basket in 1/2 inch water. Place asparagus in basket. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover; steam about 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Immediately plunge asparagus into ice water until cold. Drain on paper towels.
  • 2
    In small bowl, mix cream cheese, dill weed, lemon peel and lemon juice until well blended. Spread on cut sides of bagel halves.
  • 3
    Arrange asparagus pieces on cream cheese mixture; top with salmon. Serve with lemon wedges.

  • You can buy vegetables and fruits individually or in bulk so you get just the quantity you need. Two ounces of green beans can be substituted for the asparagus.
